More food stamp benefits available

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis more supplemental funding for Basic Food recipients for May has been approved by Congress.

Washington DSHS will continue to issue Emergency Supplements for food assistance. This brings the benefit level of all households up to the maximum benefit for their household size.

The supplements may be issued past May on a month to month basis depending on federal approval. Recipients have 365 days from the date of your last EBT activity to use the extra and regular benefits.
