Summary edit

Description

Baxter Leech (not seen) Jade Davis (rt.) and there daughter Aubrey are assisted by Greenbrier County Economic Service Worker J. Ratliff during the first phase of a three-step process for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) assistance in the form of an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card at the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources building located in Lewisburg, WV, on July 27, 2016. People who already have an EBT card for SNAP benefits do not have to reapply for the added DSNAP benefits. DSNAP funds are electronically added to existing card accounts. USDA Photo by Steve Ausmus.

In times of emergency, FNS coordinates with state and federal partners, as well as local volunteer organizations, such as the American Red Cross and Salvation Army, to provide USDA Foods to shelters and other mass feeding sites and, in limited cases, distribute food packages directly to households in need. USDA Foods are 100% domestically produced, processed and procured agricultural commodities that are made available to schools, tribes, and low-income individuals through FNS Nutrition Assistance Programs. Once retail food stores reopen, if survivors still need nutrition assistance and the area has received a ‘Presidential Disaster Declaration with Individual Assistance,’ State agencies may request to operate D-SNAP. People who may not normally qualify for nutrition assistance benefits may be eligible for D-SNAP if they had disaster-related expenses, such as loss of income, damage to property, relocation expenses, and, in some cases, loss of food due to power outages. Those already participating in the SNAP may be eligible for supplemental benefits under D-SNAP. For more information please visit this web site: www.fns.usda.gov/disaster.
