These 14 states are giving out extra food stamp money in April with emergency allotments of at least $95

EMERGENCY allotments continue to end for millions of SNAP recipients, but several states will still provide money through April.

SNAP households have come to rely on emergency allotments (EA) that provided the maximum benefit per household size.

Regardless of the size, households have been able to get the maximum payments of $1,504 during the pandemic thanks to EA.

The amount a household receives varies by size, but $95 is the minimum amount households must be given - on top of the regular SNAP benefit amount each month.

Over 41.5million Americans receive SNAP benefits through an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA), which oversees SNAP, said with the public health emergency expiring on April 15, 2022, EA will expire, too.

The federal government has already approved one extension in January which extended the emergency declaration and EA until April 15, 2022.

Without approval from the federal government for another extension, 39 US states and territories will be affected.

Some states, such as and , have already phased out this added benefit.

The following states are offering extended SNAP benefits for April:
