Due to the current government shutdown, SNAP recipients may soon stop receiving assistance payments. SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, provides monthly benefits to help pay for groceries. Individuals and families earning up to 130 percent of the federal poverty level can be eligible for SNAP benefits. In Missouri, a family of four earning less than $41,796 may be eligible for SNAP benefits.
