In the aftermath of last week’s thunderstorms that caused widespread power outages in southeast Michigan, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has stepped in to support residents who rely on food assistance. Michiganders participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and whose food spoiled during the outage may be eligible for benefit replacements.
The reimbursement initiative, announced on Thursday, aims to ease the burden faced by SNAP recipients who lost perishable food items due to the power outage. The deadline to apply for replacement benefits is set for Monday, ensuring those affected can act swiftly.
