Illinois Sends $400 to SNAP Cut Recipients | Chicago News
Description
Illinois is handing out one-time $400 payments to thousands who lost SNAP benefits due to new federal work rules — a $70 million lifeline for 150,000 struggling families. Governor Pritzker calls the cuts cruel, especially as food and utility costs soar. No application needed — eligible households will get payments via Illinois Link cards by August 1 if they lost benefits between May 1 and August 1 last year. These payments won’t affect eligibility for TANF or Medicaid, offering quick relief while folks adjust to the changes.
