Those who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will see some extra funding in January of 2023. According to multiple reports, including WGNO in Baton Rouge, the federal government has approved a round of supplemental SNAP benefits to start 2023.

The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services says that families and individuals who receive SNAP benefits can look for their supplemental benefits on their EBT cards on Sunday, January 8th, 2023.

DCFS says that EBT card holders will see the following benefits in January of 2023:

  • SNAP recipients who are not receiving the maximum benefit allotment for their household size will receive a supplement to bring them to the maximum.
  • Households already receiving the maximum benefit allotment for their household size will receive a supplemental allotment of $95.

You can see below on the chart what the most that each household can receive in with SNAP benefits:

The new year is likely to bring more applications for SNAP benefits to the Louisiana DCFS. Those who will be applying, or have already applied with DCFS but haven't been approved, will still be eligible for the supplemental benefits. Here's what DCFS told WGNO about those yet to be approved:

“will receive the supplemental allotment for your household size on a rolling weekly basis as your applications are accepted.”
