Extra food assistance through SNAP will end in February! Update your income and make sure your budget is correct.

[Michigan HHS Dept @MichiganHHS]

Families receiving food assistance through SNAP should prepare for the end of the increase in benefits that helped address food insecurity during the pandemic due to recent federal legislation. In March the additional benefits won't be issued.

I'm so grateful to be able to write these for @umichmedicine and spread the word about our financial counselors who help many people, whether or not they're our patients. And I always put in a plug for the service offered through @coveragecounts too!

No one* loves to talk about #healthinsurance - but everyone needs it.

That's why I'm proud to present the 10th story in my annual series aimed at people who need help finding coverage that works for them:

#Medicare open enrollment began earlier this month. About 7 in 10 beneficiaries say that they didn’t compare their coverage options during a recent open enrollment season. Not shopping around can have a big impact on enrollees’ coverage and costs.

@tbinimaize Many at-home tests have had extended expiration dates. You can check here: https://t.co/upIBUqEOKa

[Washtenaw County Health Department @wcpublichealth]

Clarification: additional expiration date extensions have been issued (including for tests with expiration dates after 2022-09-29 (YYYY-MM-DD)). To be sure of your expiration date for these tests, check the lot number here! https://t.co/xVlqum3Rl5

[Washtenaw County Health Department @wcpublichealth]

For example, if the expiration date printed on your box says 2022-07-21, the updated expiration date is 2022-10-20. See more details and look up your tests to confirm the updated expiration date here: https://t.co/xVlqum3Rl5

[Washtenaw County Health Department @wcpublichealth]

Note for those who get tests through Project ACT: The FDA granted a 3 month shelf-life extension for the iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test, which extended the shelf-life of all iHealth tests with expiration dates on or before 2022-09-29 (YYYY-MM-DD) from 6 months to 9 months.

[Washtenaw County Health Department @wcpublichealth]

🧪 If you already ordered tests from Project ACT last month, you can now request more for August!
