How to claim your $400 SNAP payout
Illinois is providing a one-time $400 payment to nearly 100,000 residents who lost SNAP benefits due to expanded work requirements. The program, called FRESH, was created after many residents had their assistance cut starting May 2026, with payments beginning in August 2026. Eligibility is automatic for those who lost benefits and remain ineligible, and recipients will be notified by mail with funds deposited onto their Illinois Link card.
