LANSING, Mich. – Approximately 350,000 Michigan families will continue to have access to additional food assistance benefits during the month of November 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 June – and now that is being extended for the month of November with approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service.
"MDHHS remains committed to helping families who continue to struggle to put food on the table as a result of the pandemic," said MDHHS Director Robert Gordon. "Providing nutritious food is vitally important during these difficult times just as protecting residents from the virus is."
Eligible clients will see additional food assistance benefits on their Bridge Card by November 30, with payments beginning for some households on November 21. Additional benefits will be loaded onto Bridge Cards as a separate payment from the assistance that is provided earlier in the month.

The remaining households already receive the maximum benefit.
Below is the maximum allowable benefit for SNAP customers based on their respective household size:
One Person: $204
Two Persons: $374
Three Persons: $535
Four Persons: $680
Five Persons: $807
Six Persons:$969
Seven Persons: $1,071
Eight Persons: $1,224
The federal government is providing additional funding to states for food assistance under House Resolution 6201, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.
