Food Stamp Recipients Getting More or Less

RIO GRANDE - Recent Congressional action has increased the maximum allowable monthly income for Food Stamp eligibility ; however, there is another side to the coin also. While the income ceiling has increased — effective July 1 — increases in Social Security, SSI, and welfare payments will cause many current Food Stamp households to receive fewer Food Stamps this

month.

SINCE SOCIAL Security benefits will be increased more than 14 percent (SSI recipients will now be receiving a cost-of-living increase, and AFDC clients will get seven percent more), the increase in

Income from the government to Food Stamp recipients will more than offset any loss of food purchasing power, according to the Cape May county Food Stamp Certification Office here. The new maximum Food Stamp npt incomes established by Congress include monthly: $316 for one person, $418 for two, $520 for three, $621 for four, $723 for five, $825 for six, $926 for seven, $1,028 for eight, $1,130 for nine, and $1,232 for a 10-member

household.

THE CONGRESSIONAL action also changed the way income and deductions were figured by dropping all cents. Gients this month may thus see a $1 difference in the amount of Food Stamps they receive. For more information about Food Stamps, contact the county certification office at the Social Services Center, Rts. 9 and 47, Rio Grande -

phone 729-9200. For those unable to travel to Rio Grande, the office operates field offices throughout the county once a month; they include

these:

Millman Center, Villan — 9:30 to noon July 2; North Wildwood City Hall - 9:30 to noon. July 3; Woodbine City Hall — 9:30 to noon July 7, Cape May City Hall — 9:30 to noon July 8, Wildwood Community Center — 9:30 to noon July 9, Ocean City Youth Center — 9:30 to noon July 11, Court.
