- How Michigan SNAP recipients can file for food lost due to power outages
Michigan SNAP recipients who lost refrigerated or frozen food during a qualifying power outage can request replacement benefits by submitting a Food Replacement Affidavit. Eligibility requires the outage to last at least four hours, the food to be purchased with SNAP benefits, and the loss reported within 10 days, with some counties having extended deadlines.
