(Undated) — Illinois is among the states that will see SNAP benefits cut in March. Thirty-two states are set to cut benefits on March 1st. The cuts in SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, are due to the end of so-called emergency allotments which bumped up benefits at the start of the pandemic. IDHS officials estimate two million Illinoisans receive the benefits. Eighteen states have already ended their emergency allotments, some citing the strengthening economy as the reason.
