Wisconsin households receiving FoodShare will receive added benefits to help relieve strain during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The temporary increase in benefits will begin in January and last until June 2021. FoodShare households will be able to use these benefits for in-person and online purchasing.
âMore than 725,000 Wisconsinites are relying on FoodShare to help them feed themselves and their loved ones during this pandemic,â said DHS Secretary-designee Andrea Palm. âThese increases are the kind of critical support we need to be offering to our hardest-hit neighbors in Wisconsin right now.â
