About 700,000 Michigan families who depend on the SNAP food program will be receiving an extra payment during the month of September.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer has approved an extra food assistance payment to help families in need this holiday season. Michiganders don't have to sign any extra paperwork and should see a payment between Nov 13th and Nov 23rd. This couldn't have come at a better time as prices on food have increased drastically over the past year...

College students will now be eligible to receive a little extra help.

As part of the COVID-19 response, additional food benefits are being extended through the month.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has extended the program allowing Michigan families to get the maximum assistance through July.

I know that these incidents are few and far between, but they still freak me out.
