Will I get extra Florida SNAP benefits in 2021?

Yes! If your monthly Florida SNAP benefit is less than the maximum SNAP for your household size, you will get a supplemental benefit up to the maximum SNAP grant for January through March, plus you will get 15% more.

Thereafter, you will get at least 15% more than your usual allotment through September 2021.

The Florida DCF may decide to supplement your SNAP benefits up to maximum allotments in future months, but will make that decision on a month-to-month basis.

If you already get the maximum SNAP benefit, you will get 15% more than the maximum allotment for your household size through September 2021.

Household size – Max SNAP/with 15%
1 – $204/$234
2 – $374/$430
3 – $535/$616

6 – $969/$1114
