"SNAP households will see reduction in monthly SNAP benefits in March 2023; Here's what you need to know:

All Coloradans who receive SNAP benefits will see a reduction in their monthly benefit amount after February 2023. The temporary additional benefit amounts, called emergency allotments, were approved by Congress during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. These additional benefits are now ending due to the result of recent congressional action. Benefit amounts are calculated based on the individual household circumstances.

A few helpful tips:

• Roll over EBT benefits to the next month, if you are able to. This may help cushion the impact of the reduction in benefits.
• Stock up on non-perishable items now, while you have the additional benefits. (View tips on stocking your pantry in English or Spanish.)
• Stretch food ingredients and plan to use them in more than one meal. This helps to save money and reduce food waste. (View tips on stretching ingredients in English or Spanish.)
• Consider freezing produce to make fruit and vegetables last longer. (View tips on freezing food in English or Spanish.)
• Look at unit prices to compare similar products at the grocery store. (View tips on comparing prices in English or Spanish.)

This is a change enacted by Congress and is not appealable. "
