County working to secure derecho aid

Dec 16, 2020 CLINTON — Clinton County officials are continuing their work to secure D-SNAP funding for local residents. The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Program provides funding for families in approved counties who were impacted by the August derecho. Families who are approved for the program receive funding in an amount equal to one month of the maximum amount of food assistance and SNAP benefits based on household size. Families must have been adversely affected by the derecho, with food either destroyed or spoiled as a result of the storm, to be eligible for the program. Clinton County Emergency Management Coordinator Chance Kness said the Iowa Department of Human Services rolled out D-SNAP in 21 Iowa counties in September. Clinton County’s application initially was refused by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Clinton County was later designated for individual assistance, Kness said. DHS is now asking for more documentation, Kness said.
