Replacement benefits are available to those who lost food due to a storm. A deadline extension has been approved, giving affected individuals more time to apply. The new deadline to request replacement benefits is September 21, 2026.

Those in need can call 2-1-1 for assistance, and funds are expected to be added to accounts within two business days. Certain counties are eligible for this extension, and further details can be found through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Additional information is available for those seeking to request replacement benefits, including the process for applying and receiving funds.
