SNAP recipients can be reimbursed for food lost to power outages

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - Thousands lost power during last week’s storms, many for multiple days.

Without power, food in freezers and refrigerators may have gone bad.

But those on SNAP benefits can be reimbursed.

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services allows SNAP recipients to apply for replacement funds for outages of at least four hours.
