Federal food assistance programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, dodged a bullet recently, at least temporarily, when the USDA announced that federal food assistance dollars will flow through February.
But here in Texas, that could create a different problem.
“We have some concerns about sort of the difficulties involved in releasing those benefits all at once, which is not how we usually distribute SNAP benefits,” says Celia Cole, executive director of the Austin-based hunger advocacy group Feeding Texas.
