LANSING,Mich. – Approximately 350,000 Michigan families will continue to have access to additional food assistance benefits during the month of October as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) announced today.
Michigan previously approved the additional food assistance for March through September – and now that is being extended for the month of October with approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service.
"No Michiganders should worry about how to put food on the table for themselves and their family, especially during a pandemic," said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. "COVID-19 is still a very real threat to our public health and Michiganders' economic well-being. That's why it's so important that we continue providing this vital assistance to low-income families who need help putting food on the table"
Eligible clients will see additional food assistance benefits on their Bridge Card by Oct. 30, with payments beginning for some households on Oct. 18. Additional benefits will be loaded onto Bridge Cards as a separate payment from the assistance provided earlier in the month.
