Starting Nov. 1, households including those with elderly, disabled, or child members will be prioritized to receive benefits, as Gov. Jeff Landry explained on Wednesday. The Louisiana Department of Health said households with only “able-bodied” adults won’t get state-funded benefits.
“Thank you to Governor Landry for your bold leadership, compassion, and work with the state Legislature to take care of our most vulnerable populations,” said LDH Secretary Bruce D. Greenstein.
If there are any unused federal SNAP benefits from previous months, those funds on EBT cards can be used like usual.
According to LDH, benefits from the Family Independence Temporary Assistance Program and the Kinship Care Subsidy Program will not be impacted by the federal government shutdown in November.
Nearly 800,000 in Louisiana are SNAP participants.
