Due to the continuing partial federal
government shutdown, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the State of
Colorado have released February SNAP benefits early to most recipients. The
Department urges clients who received an additional SNAP payment on their EBT
cards from Jan.16-20th to keep in mind that it is an advance SNAP payment for
February. The additional funds are intended to help clients with their February
food purchases. No additional SNAP benefits will be allotted in February. All
SNAP participants will be able to use their EBT cards to purchase food as long
as there are benefits on their card. Participants should plan food purchases
carefully throughout January and February so their food needs are met through
the partial government shutdown. If more food resources are needed during the
partial government shutdown, we encourage clients to reach out to a local food
bank or community agency in their area. To find those resources, please
contact: Colorado 2-1-1: 844-493-8255 Hunger Free Colorado: 855-855-4626
Colorado Benefits Center: 855-871-2696 SNAP benefits will not be issued again
until March, and only if the funds are available from the federal government.
As additional information becomes available, we will share it.
