President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 on March 11, extending increases to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) from July 1 to Sept. 30. The number of benefits will increase for those eligible as well.
With over a quarter of the U.S. population fully vaccinated, the end of the pandemic is seemingly in sight. But in its wake, the pandemic left many impoverished, with 88 to 115 million people into extreme poverty in 2020. That number could rise to 150 million by the end of this year.
