Food stamp benefits to rise July 1 amid rising costs
Millions of low income Americans will receive larger food stamp benefits starting July 1 under a new formula. A typical four person family will get 170 dollars monthly, up from 168, with another possible increase next January depending on August prices. The plan served about 17.1 million people in April, costing 5.4 billion dollars, as 32 households receive benefits.
