Md. makes online groceries available for SNAP recipients

The Maryland Department of Human Services has made several adjustments to the supplemental nutrition assistance program in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

As of Thursday, all SNAP recipients can purchase groceries online from approved United States Department of Agriculture retailers without extra charge.

SNAP helps low-income households purchase food. To qualify for SNAP, an individual’s or family’s income must be 130 percent below the federal poverty line.

Katherine Morris, communications director for the human services department, said in a press release that SNAP is playing a critical role in the coronavirus pandemic.

How do you get 130% BELOW the poverty line?


So: Poverty line $10,000 100% below = $0 130% below = -$3,000 ??

Now I don't have to go in the store with a mask. Since I'm disabled this will help me tremendously.

Not that a lot will do this. They want to steal so will still go to the store.

5:39 PM -There's a chart to help you with that.
On the upside, maybe fewer people will be offended by SNAP users in grocery lines.
