On Sunday, DCF Secretary Shevaun Harris said Lake, Osceola, Seminole, and Volusia counties will now be eligible to apply for benefits.

D-SNAP is continuously providing food assistance for individuals and families impacted by Hurricane Ian, who are not currently receiving food assistance benefits.

“The first two phases of D-SNAP have been highly successful with $69.7 million disbursed to more than 112,000 households,” said Harris. “The Department has been offering and encouraging families to use the phone option for their interview, and has hundreds of call center agents available each day to support these efforts.”
