SNAP benefits are dropping to prepandemic levels, leaving many families with a sense of panic.

There's normally excitement welcoming a new baby into the world, but for Roxie Meyers, adding Amir to the list of mouths to feed in her home comes with a bit of anxiety this time around.

"The anxiety is about 10. It's 10. It's a struggle out here," sad Roxie Meyers.

Meyers is used to receiving the boosted monthly allotment of snap benefits like recipients across the state since March of 2020.

Now her family of 6 and 600,000 other Maryland families will receive an average of $170 less per month.

The Maryland Department of Human Services stressed for the last year that the bump in benefits was only temporary.

With the pandemic making its exit, heightened benefits are too.
