Kentucky could lose $50M in SNAP benefits if COVID emergency ends, Governor says

Gov. Andy Beshear has held his last regular COVID-19 briefing, signaling a shift in Kentucky’s recovery from the pandemic.

They have said it’s about ending restrictions, but the governor argues it will cost Kentuckians food benefits too.
