Maine's Department of Health and Human Services is issuing $13.5 million in additional benefits to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program following the Dec. 18 storm.
The Department says that more than 76,000 Maine households in storm-affected areas will receive a replacement benefit of 60% of their December benefit this Saturday.
Commissioner Jeanne Lambrew says it will help Maine families who lost access to refrigerators and affordable food as a result of the storm.
