Locally, delayed SNAP benefits affect 8,200 Harnett County households. Monthly SNAP benefits average around $350 per household for a total Federal payment of @$2.9M per month, which the county administers. There is no way the county can make up these payments and have encouraged donations to the local food pantries to help our citizens in need. All expected payments will be made, however delayed, once the government budget is passed.
