  • 2024-27853 — Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Thrifty Food Plan Cost Adjustment for the Price of Food in Hawaii
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 95724
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is proposing a change to better reflect the cost of food in Hawaii, impacting the Thrifty Food Plan (TFP). Currently, SNAP benefit calculations for Hawaii are based solely on food prices in Honolulu, but the proposed rule seeks to include prices from across the entire state. This change aims to provide a fairer and more accurate distribution of SNAP benefits to residents in all parts of Hawaii, acknowledging that food costs can be higher in areas outside of Honolulu. The public is invited to comment on this proposed rule until February 3, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The document talks about making sure people in all parts of Hawaii get enough money for food help, not just those in Honolulu, because food can be more expensive in other areas. They want to check food prices from everywhere in Hawaii to do this, and they're asking people to share their thoughts on the idea by February 3, 2025.

    The Food and Nutrition Service of the USDA announced the benefit levels for 2025 in the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children Program. These benefits, unchanged from 2024, are adjusted annually based on the Thrifty Food Plan and include regional modifications for Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories. For most areas, the monthly benefit remains at $40, while Alaska and Hawaii have higher amounts due to cost differences. These adjustments comply with the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.

    Simple Explanation

    The USDA is making sure kids get enough support to buy food during the summer with the Summer EBT program, keeping most places at $40 a month, and giving a bit more to places where food costs more, like Alaska and Hawaii.
