Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Emergency Allotments (COVID-19)

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020 includes a general provision that allows the Department of Agriculture to approve state plans to provide temporary emergency Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) assistance to households with children who would otherwise receive free or reduced-price meals if not for their schools being closed due to the COVID-19 emergency (also known as Pandemic EBT, or P-EBT). This legislation also provides for the issuance of emergency allotments (supplements) based on a public health emergency declaration by the Secretary of Health and Human Services under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act related to an outbreak of COVID-19 when a State has also issued an emergency or disaster declaration. This submission seeks emergency OMB approval of activities associated with administering P-EBT and emergency allotments.
