SNAP Benefit Changes:
Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) households have been getting an extra amount of benefits every month because of the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020. These extra benefits are called “Emergency Allotments or Max Allotments” and most households have been getting them in addition to their regular SNAP benefits. These Emergency Allotments were authorized by Congress, but they are temporary, and will be ending at the end February 2023, because of the federal Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. We fully understand that this Federal policy decision to reduce SNAP benefits will hit some Lake County households particularly hard.
How is Lake County Government Responding?
Lake County government will be providing ARPA funds to provide financial assistance to all SNAP households in Lake County. The following days are designated for SNAP head of households to come to the Lake County Department of Human Services (annex building) offices to receive this financial assistance on Wednesday, March 1 from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM and Friday, March 10 from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM.
All SNAP household members can call the Lake County Department of Human Services if they have questions, by dialing 719-486-2088.
This information will be available in the coming weeks on the County Website, flyers posted around the community, within the Herald Democrat, and through direct mailing. Please share this information with your clients. If you have questions, please email Janeen McGee at Janeen.McGee@state.co.us or Tim Bergman at tbergman@co.lake.co.us
What is SNAP?

It provides a monthly benefit that helps families and individuals buy the food they need for good health. SNAP is part of a federal nutrition program to help low-income households purchase food.
