News Cetner Maine -A SNAP benefit [aka food stamps] for working families in Maine is set to increase by more than three times starting in March, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
The expansion of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program would bring the Working Families Supplement benefit from $15 to $50 per month for some 13,000 Mainers in need.
"Too many Maine families who receive SNAP and TANF are still going hungry because their level of aid is simply inadequate," DHHS Commissioner Jeanne Lambrew said in a statement.
