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.More Information about SNAP Reduction Here.
