New SNAP Medical Deductions for Seniors
Now, more than ever, seniors in SWLA can use support with accessing assistance because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A lot of our seniors are high risk and either can't get out due to disabilities or are afraid to get out because of health conditions and the fear of getting infected with the virus.
Hunger is a big problem because most seniors are on a fixed income and can't afford to buy everything they need to prepare healthy meals. We all can vouch for the fact that groceries are expensive, especially if you want to eat a proper diet. So, it's good to know there are new medical deductions seniors can use to help with eligibility requirements for receiving SNAP benefits. View the flyers below for more details.
