Impact of COLA Increase for SNAP Recipients with Social Security Income

On January 1, 2013 the Social Security Administration (SSA) adjusts the federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI), regular Social Security (SS) income and Social Security Disability Income (SSD) to reflect the increase in the cost of living (COLA). 

Hunger Solutions New York has a  new SNAP policy alert that highlights  the impact of this COLA adjustment for seniors and disabled people who receive SNAP benefits or who are currently NYSNIP recipients.  The alert includes information on the Medicare Part B premium and the newest NYSNIP matrix, which are also affected by the SSI COLA increase.
