By Sahar Chmais

Approximately $262 million in emergency funds have been assigned to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for July, in an ongoing response to the pandemic.

“As the pandemic continues to impact Texas families,” said Texas HHS Access and Eligibility Services Deputy Executive Commissioner Wayne Salter, “we will continue to provide support to these families through emergency SNAP benefits, which allow the purchases of healthy, nutritious foods.”
