well-known for his book-
keeping skills and his pho-
tographic memory. The
home was tastefully reno-
vated to meet the needs
of the law offices, and a
paved parking area added
in front of the structure.
There are no more busi-
ness establishments to the
east of the offices of Dr.
Benson and Parker Lay-
risson as the balance of
East Hickory Street con-
sists of four blocks of quiet
residences. The front yard
of the residence immedi-
ately east of Dr. Benson’s
clinic is graced by a ma-
jestic live oak tree that
has been designated “The
Ponchatoula Oak.” The
widespread branches of
this huge evergreen tree
have shaded this area of
Hickory Street for untold
generations.
A bit further east on
the southeastern corner of
Hickory and North Second

of the Bible Missionary

the rear of the American
Legion home. The Legion
home location was the for—
mer residence of Dr. A. G.
Bowman and after renova-
tion, his former residence
became one of the centers
of local social life in our
community. The Legion
home hosted dances, wed-
dings, civic meetings, and
other activities beyond the
use of the legionnaires.
The open space between
Hickory Street and the
Legion home was a hap—
py place each spring for
many years in the 1950’s
and 1960’s as street fairs
were held here during
strawberry season.
Looking right from
Hickory Street at this

Program (SNAP) benefits schedule to distribute ben-
efits more evenly throughout each month. '
Rather than receivmg
their benefits during the
1st through 14th of each
month, SNAP households
will soon receive them be-
tween the 1st and 23rd of
each month.
The new regular sched-
ule, which will go into ef-
fect in February 2021, will
allow for more even stock-
ing and staffing at grocery
stores and more consistent
access to a variety of foods
for shoppers, as house-
holds typically do their
shopping on or shortly af-
ter the day their benefits
are issued.
DCFS also received ap-
proval from the US. De-
partment of Agriculture
Food and Nutrition Ser-
vice (FNS) to issue sup-
plemental SNAP benefits
for December to families
not already receiving the
maximum allotment for
their household. size. The
supplemental benefits are
scheduled to be loaded
onto recipients’ EBT cards
on Friday, December 4.
In prior months, supple-
ments have been issued
after regular SNAP ben-
efits, but for December,
some households will re-
ceive their supplement be-
fore their regular benefit.
The maximum monthly
allotments by household
size can be found at www.
dcfs.la.gov/page/snap-al-
lotment-amounts. ‘
New SNAP Schedule
Over the next three
months, SNAP issuance
dates will transition to
the new schedule, with no
recipient going more than
40 days between monthly
issuances, per federal reg-
ulations. Recipients who
are elderly or disabled
will continue to receive
their benefits on the lst
through the 4th of each
month. Other recipients’
issuance dates will shift
according to the following
schedule:
Elderly or Disabled

*The last month 'in
which SNAP benefits were
issued on the “old sched-
ule” was August 2020.
Since then, benefits have
been issued early, on the
lst of each month for Sep-
tember, October and No-
vember, due to the over-
lapping circumstances of
the COVID-19 pandemic
and multiple hurricanes.
For example, recipi-
ents whose Social Security
Number ends in 9, and '
who are not classified as
elderly or disabled, will
receive their December
benefits on Dec. 10, their
January benefits on Jan.
18, and their February
benefits on Feb. 23. Their
regular benefit issuance
date will then be the 23rd
of each month.
SNAP recipients should
familiarize themselves
with their upcoming issu-
ance dates and budget ac-
cordingly.
