LDH is moving forward with a plan to distribute food benefits on EBT cards. If the USDA, who administers the SNAP program, is prepared and ready to move money into states’ accounts, 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.
State Loan Repayment Program
Healthcare professionals serving in health professional shortage areas (HPSA) across the state may be eligible for Louisiana’s State Loan Repayment Program. This program repays governmental or commercial educational loans in exchange for serving in rural and underserved facilities. To learn more, visit wellaheadla.com/SLRP.
