In April 2020, the Federal Government authorized the issuance of emergency NA benefits for households across the nation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, while the rates of transmission for new virus variants may not be so severe now, the increasing costs for basic necessities of food and shelter have risen more than wages and incomes of those who are now facing more hardships and rising FOOD INSECURITY.
INFLATION and rising food costs have never been higher - Arizona on the average has the highest inflation at 10.9% in the entire nation.

Dear Customer,

Beginning in 05/2022, eligible NA households will no longer receive these additional NA emergency benefits.
