Governor Greg Abbott has announced that the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) received federal approval to extend the time Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients can apply for replacement benefits for food lost or destroyed as a result of the January winter storm.
SNAP recipients in Texas have until February 23, 2026, to apply for replacement benefits. Funds should be added to Lone Star Cards within two business days of receiving the request.
SNAP recipients must visit a local HHSC office to request a benefit replacement. To find an office, visit YourTexasBenefits.com and click “Find an Office” at the bottom of the page.
Texans impacted by any disaster can visit the HHSC Receiving Disaster Assistance webpage for more information. To find local resources, such as food or shelter, dial 2-1-1 and select option 1.
