BEXAR COUNTY, Texas - Residents who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and lost food because of recent storms and power outages have more time to request replacement benefits, state officials announced Monday.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) said the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved an extension that provides Bexar County SNAP recipients until Sept. 17, 2026, to report food loss and apply for replacement benefits.

Funds are expected to be added to Lone Star Cards within two business days after a request is received.
