October 1, 2021

(October 1, 2021 10:06 AM) Michiganders who receive food assistance will see a permanent increase of approximately 6.8% in their monthly benefits beginning in October, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) announced. Due to a larger-than-normal annual increase in benefits from federal funding at the beginning of the new fiscal year, people who receive food assistance will experience an increase even as a temporary 15% hike related to the COVID-19 pandemic expires effective this month. For example, the maximum monthly benefit for a household of four increases from $782 to $835. “Increases in monthly food assistance benefits have helped Michigan residents feed their families during an international pandemic,” said Lewis Roubal, MDHHS senior deputy director for opportunity. “As the temporary 15% hike expires, we are pleased that our federal partners have acted so that families who need help putting food on the table will still receive a modest increase in their benefits. MDHHS remains committed to helping address food insecurity in Michigan.” Monthly increases based on household size are as follows: Household Size Monthly Increase 1 $16 2 $29 3 $42 4 $53 5 $63 6 $76 7 $84 8 $96 MDHHS administers the federal Supplemental Nutrition…
