Show Notes
Maine lawmakers consider establishing an $87.8 million emergency fund for food stamp benefits to protect SNAP from federal disruptions, like last years shutdown. The fund would cover three months of benefits and aim to reduce Maines SNAP payment error rate through a new electronic system. Despite support from advocates and food banks, the governors office remains neutral, and Republicans oppose it due to tight finances.
