SNAP/Link Benefits Reduced Starting March 2023

Due to a recent federal policy change, emergency SNAP is ending soon. During the pandemic, the federal government issued emergency supplemental benefits to SNAP, the program otherwise known as LINK or EBT in the state of Illinois.

Emergency SNAP will be issued for the last time in February 2023. All Illinois SNAP households will see their benefits decrease in March.

Illinois SNAP households receive their regular monthly benefit from the 1st to the 20th of the month. This is the amount you will continue to receive in March. Since April 2020, emergency SNAP has been sent after the 21st of the month. This is the amount you will no longer receive starting in March.

Renovations Featured During Central Community Center
Re-dedication

Ribbon Cutting

Elected Township officials, along with area dignitaries, celebrate with Louis S. Viverito, Township Supervisor, after he cut a ceremonial ribbon at the Re-Dedication of the Stickney Township Central Community Center, January 11. Ignoring recommendations to level the building, Viverito pushed for the renovation of the existing structure.

In his comments at the ceremony Viverito announced that "the renovation was completely paid for without borrowing and without a tax increase." He also predicted that property values in the area would rise as a result of this investment in the Central Stickney community.

Interior of Community Center

In addition to the invited guests, the building was open to the public and many parents of students at the nearby Sahs Elementary School toured the new facilities, which offer lounge areas, a classroom and a multi-purpose youth space. Programs for adults and children are planned by both the Township and the Stickney Forest View Public Library.

Uniper Service Turns Your Home Into a Virtual Senior Center

The Stickney Township Office on Aging, in conjunction with Age Options, is currently offering referrals to older adults for a free service called Uniper that brings the digital world to their televisions. Uniper brings a virtual senior center into the homes of Cook County residents 60 years of age and above.

To be eligible, a person must live in suburban Cook County outside of Chicago, be either 60 years or older, or be a caregiver. A Uniper team member installs a box that connects existing Internet service to a television, effectively turning it into a smart TV capable of streaming lectures, exercise classes, group meetings, entertainment, & FaceTime calls with family–all through a home TV.

Uniper Care is a leading provider of this age-at-home, TV-based and mobile-based solution for care delivery and social engagement. Uniper’s technology-enabled services include live and interactive health and wellness content, HIPAA compliant video Telehealth, remote assessments, family communication, and peer-led groups. Providing an end-to-end solution that transforms a TV or mobile device into an interactive connectivity hub, Uniper empowers every older adult to live a healthy and active social life full of interest and meaning from the comfort of home.
