Local woman receives just $12 in SNAP benefits during longest U.S. government shutdown

As government resources remain up in the air amidst the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, thousands of households are still struggling to put food on their tables. News 3 spoke with a local woman who says she was taken aback after only receiving $12 in partial SNAP benefits for the month. “When I actually looked, and it said $12, I actually had to log back out, log back in to make sure I was seeing what I saw, $12,” said Latoya. 50-year-old Latoya, who only wanted to be identified by her first name, says she’s been working since she was 17; however, in recent years, Latoya says she’s had to rely on others after falling ill and becoming disabled. “I never saw myself in this situation, and it’s hard because when you're so used to being independent, and then you have to go depend on someone to help you, it’s hard, and then when you finally need the help, this is the outcome?” #snap #governmentshutdown #congress #groceryshopping MORE: https://news3lv.com/news/local/local-... _______________ Never miss an upload from News 3 Las Vegas!
