LDH is moving forward with a plan to distribute food benefits on EBT cards tomorrow. If the USDA, who administers the SNAP program, is prepared and ready to move money into states’ accounts this evening, we will use federal dollars to fund SNAP recipients’ accounts. If they are not ready, LDH will proceed with our state-funded program to provide food assistance to the elderly, the disabled, and households with children through their existing EBT cards.
DWRLF Technical Assistance
A portion of the DWRLF set-aside monies are designated for technical assistance to small public water systems serving under 10,000 population. The DWRLF has a circuit rider who makes on-site visits to these systems providing assistance with technical and/or managerial problems. The DWRLF also contracts with outside parties to provide a circuit rider to provide both management training and technical assistance as needed. For more information on the services provided or to schedule a training session with on of our current contractors, see contact information below:
