Low income families will
get a 2.5 percent cost-of-
food increase in food
stamps starting January
1, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Carol Tucker
Foreman has announced
“The Januray increase
will be the smallest in two
years because the rise in
food prices has slowed in
recent months,” Foreman
said
The increase reflects the
rise in food costs between
March and September 1979.
By law, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
adjusts ‘food stamps
allotments twice a year, on
January 1 and July 1. The
adjustment varies with
changes in the cost of
economical foods used in
the thrifty food plan
On January 1, the
maximum montly
allotment for a family of
four with no net income will
increase from $204 to $209
