Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) today announced changes made by the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to SNAP income and benefit limits.

“SNAP is the nation’s most important anti-hunger program that helps more than 1.9 million Pennsylvanians to afford food for themselves and their families, and these updates to SNAP benefits will help recipients to expand their purchasing power and meet their nutrition needs,” said DHS Secretary Dr. Val Arkoosh. “DHS will always help Pennsylvanians facing food insecurity keep food on their tables, and I strongly encourage anyone who may need food assistance to apply for SNAP.”

FNS annually evaluates SNAP’s income eligibility standards, the maximum thrifty food plan, and the minimum benefit amount. These mass grant changes will benefit all SNAP recipients; SNAP benefit levels may increase as a result of these updates, and no one will experience a decrease in benefits.

Below are the SNAP income limits beginning October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024:

 

Household Size  Maximum Gross Monthly Income 
1  $2,430 
2  $3,288 
3  $4,144 
4  $5,000 
5  $5,858 
6  $6,714 
7  $7,570 
8  $8,428 
9  $9,286 
10  $10,144 
Each additional member  +$858 

 

Factors that could contribute to a household’s higher SNAP allowances and income limits in Pennsylvania include household size, monthly income, and if a member of your household is 60 years of age or older or has a disability.

Additionally, below are the changes to the Maximum Thrifty Food Plan effective October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024. The Maximum Thrifty Food Plan is the maximum amount of SNAP benefits a household can receive.

Household Size  Maximum Thrifty Food Plan 
1  $291 
2  $535 
3  $766 
4  $973 
5  $1,155 
6  $1,386 
7  $1,532 
8  $1,751 
9  $1,970 
10  $2,189 
Each Additional Member  $219 

 

There is no change to the minimum benefit this year; the minimum benefit remains $23 through September 30, 2024.

The best way to determine if your household will qualify for SNAP and the amount of your monthly benefit  is to apply. Current recipients should continue to report income and address changes to DHS and submit any semi-annual reviews or renewals they receive during this period to not risk an interruption of their benefits in the future.

Under Federal guidelines, SNAP benefits do not expire as long as the recipient’s EBT card remains active, which means that the household’s EBT card must be used at least once every nine months. SNAP recipients can check their current EBT balance, make transaction inquiries, and request card replacements from DHS’s EBT contractor, Conduent, at 888-328-7366. Alternatively, recipients may check their EBT balance and transaction history using the free myCOMPASS PA mobile app on both Apple and Android devices.

Planned EBT Outage

DHS is also alerting SNAP recipients of planned, temporary Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) service outages occurring on both October 12, 2023, and October 14, 2023, between 3:00 am and 9:00 am. DHS’s EBT contractor, Conduent, is conducting these outages in order to upgrade systems and improve client services.

The brief outages will impact all EBT services, to include point-of-sale EBT transaction processing, SNAP online shopping transactions, and additional web services; EBT users will not be able to complete transactions during these times.

EBT balance and transaction inquiries can be requested from Conduent at 888-328-7366.

Applications for public assistance programs can be submitted online at www.dhs.pa.gov/COMPASS. On-site County Assistance Office (CAO) services are available if recipients cannot access online services or need assistance that cannot be accessed through the COMPASS website, the myCOMPASS PA mobile app, or by calling the Customer Service Centers at 1-877-395-8930 or 215-560-7226 for people in Philadelphia.

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) today launched a new website to provide resources and information to individuals interested in becoming educators in the Commonwealth. The website includes testimonials from real-life teachers, career and certification process guidance, information about individualized pathways to becoming an educator, and more.

“At the Pennsylvania Department of Education, we know the critical and fundamental role educators play in our communities and are committed to rebuilding the educator pipeline in the Commonwealth,” said Secretary of Education Dr. Khalid N. Mumin. “What’s more, as a former teacher and administrator, I know firsthand how rewarding this job can be. The Teach in PA website will help inspire students to become educators and provide them with the resources they need to enter into this meaningful, fulfilling career.”

This work reflects the priorities of Governor Josh Shapiro, who is committed to bolstering the educator pipeline in Pennsylvania to ensure we have well-qualified, well-paid teachers in our classrooms supporting our kids.

Earlier this year, PDE announced that processing timelines for In-State Level I certificates have been reduced by approximately 10 weeks since 2022. The Department also launched a new feature on its website to improve transparency and responsiveness in the educator certification process. The certification “clock” on PDE’s Certification page shows, in real time, the length of time needed to process a certificate once all required information is submitted to the Department.

Additionally, last year, PDE revamped its website to allow current and prospective educators to more easily access information related to certifications. Changes to the Certification page include more easy-to-follow breakdowns on common topics that educators are searching for; condensed and updated frequently asked questions; a step-by-step guide and instructional YouTube video for first-time users; and more.

York, PA — Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn today announced that the department has opened up a public survey (Opens In A New Window) for input on plans at Susquehanna Riverlands State Park in York County.

“The Bureau of State Parks is preparing a master plan to conserve and restore the land while also providing recreation opportunities for all at Susquehanna Riverlands State Park,” Dunn said. “We are eager to hear from the public about its needs and desired amenities at the park, as we develop plans for Susquehanna Riverlands. We welcome feedback from the local community, as well as those who plan to visit the park as its operations expand.”

The 10-question survey can be accessed online(Opens In A New Window) or through the Susquehanna Riverlands State Park website.

The survey will close Wednesday, November 1.

Feedback from the survey will be considered as a part of a master plan DCNR’s Bureau of State Parks is preparing for Susquehanna Riverlands State Park.

Susquehanna Riverlands is one of three new parks DCNR announced in 2022.

Trails are open to the public, but the park currently does not have infrastructure traditionally associated with state parks, such as restrooms and a park office.

The 1,044-acre Susquehanna Riverlands State Park lies in York County, along the confluence of Codorus Creek with the beautiful Susquehanna River.

The park features multiple rock outcrop vistas over the river and nearly a mile of riverfront along the Susquehanna, with 1.5 miles along Codorus Creek.

An approximately 2.75-mile-long portion of the Mason-Dixon Trail traverses the park.

This 200-mile-long trail connects the Appalachian Trail at Whiskey Springs in Cumberland County with Chadds Ford along the Brandywine River.

DCNR completed a similar survey for Big Elk Creek State Park in August 2023.

There is no plan for a public survey for Vosburg Neck State Park because of development restrictions and existing infrastructure for recreation.

Visit DCNR’s website for more information about Susquehanna Riverlands State Park, and check out DCNR’s Calendar of Events for events on public lands.

​2024 Pennsylvania State Fair™ will connect the $132.5 billion PA Agriculture industry to lives positively impacted daily by its success.

Easton, PA – Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding visited the Eat Real Food Mobile Market at Paxinosa Elementary School in Easton today to announce the theme for the 108th Pennsylvania Farm Show: Connecting Our Communities. The 2024 PA Farm Show, Pennsylvania’s State Fair™, will run from Saturday, January 6 through Saturday, January 13 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg.

“The Pennsylvania Farm Show is a living story of Pennsylvania agriculture, connecting those who are fed, nourished, and enriched by our industry to those whose lives and livelihoods depend on it,” Secretary Redding said. “Agriculture unites us. It is the food, fuel, and fiber we rely on for our quality of life and our economy. Food helps define our cultures and our identities.

“Eat Real Food Mobile Market is a perfect illustration of how agriculture connects communities and nourishes their futures. It’s a fitting backdrop to highlight how the 2024 Pennsylvania Farm Show will showcase the pride and hard work of farmers from across the state, connecting people from all walks of life to a celebration of the importance of agriculture in our communities.”

The Kellyn Foundation’s Eat Real Food Mobile Market visits multiple sites on a regular weekly schedule and includes sampling, nutritional education, and recipes. Eat Real Food provides healthy, local food access at an affordable price, providing opportunities for families to connect with nutritious foods, and bringing communities together around agriculture to provide better outcomes for all.

This market grew out of a multi-industry partnership of the Kellyn Foundation, the Bethlehem Area School District, the Lehigh Valley Health Network, Penn State Extension, Rodale Institute, the Bethlehem Food Co-Op, Meals on Wheels and Second Harvest Food Bank. These organizations joined forces to support a stronger local food system, ensuring locally grown food production can flourish through the development and expansion of local food infrastructure. This effort includes farmers, manufacturers, processors, distributors, institutional buyers, neighborhoods and individual consumers, along with the support of governmental, non-profit and for-profit entities. Together, they are creating jobs, supporting the environment, championing the health of their community, and reducing food insecurity.

The 2023-24 budget Governor Shapiro signed into law includes critical agriculture investments, including:

  • $31 million to help poultry farmers impacted by the hi-path avian influenza crisis pay for testing and get reimbursed for losses to their flocks. The $34 million Agricultural Preparedness and Response line item includes $3 million to help control invasive spotted lanternflies and leverages $3 million in matching funds from the USDA.
  • $2 million to fund the Fresh Food Financing Initiative that will contribute to better health outcomes by improving access to PA-grown, processed, and produced foods.
  • $2 million increase to the State Food Purchase Program to provide state funds for emergency food assistance for low-income Pennsylvanians. The increase to the $26.28 million line item will connect surplus food donated by farmers through the Pennsylvania Agricultural Surplus System  to food banks and food pantries statewide, and will connect low-income seniors to Senior Food Boxes filled with nutritious dietary staples.
  • $1 million to create a new Organic Center of Excellence, one of the first-of-its kind, to empower and support organic farmers and businesses.
The budget invests $13.8 million in a fifth year of the PA Farm Bill, making critical investments in building the workforce, processing infrastructure, and marketing opportunities the industry needs, and in removing barriers standing between the industry and those who want to be part of its future.
The 2024 Farm Show will feature fan-favorites like the 1,000-pound butter sculpture, famous Farm Show Food Court, youth showmanship, and sheep shearing competitions (among hundreds of other competitive agricultural events), cooking demonstrations at the PA Preferred® Culinary Connection, and more than one million square-feet of hands-on agriculture education opportunities and chances to engage with the people who power Pennsylvania’s $132.5 billion agriculture industry.
“Visiting the PA Farm Show is like taking a journey through the heart of agriculture, where you’ll connect with the roots of our food, the spirit of our farming communities, and the boundless possibilities for finding your own path in this industry. Whether it is your first visit or you come every year, the PA Farm Show is the best place to cultivate connections with agriculture,” Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center Executive Director Sharon Myers said.

Farms Protected in Berks, Butler, Chester, Crawford, Dauphin, Erie, Franklin, Lancaster, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lycoming, Westmoreland, York counties

Harrisburg, PA – The Shapiro Administration announced today that Pennsylvania preserved 1,336 acres on 18 farms in 13 counties, forever protecting them from residential or commercial development. The investment of more than $3.1 million in state dollars and $433,433 in county dollars to purchase land development rights preserves prime farmland, helping ensure that Pennsylvania farms can continue feeding our families and economy in the future.

Preserving prime farmland is one of the critical investments the commonsense, bipartisan budget Governor Josh Shapiro signed for 2023-24 makes in supporting Pennsylvania farmers. The nearly 6.4% overall increase in the Agriculture Department’s budget is working to amplify farmers’ efforts to conserve land, soil, and water resources by investing in equipment purchases, business planning, and farm management tools they need to innovate and continue to grow.

 

“Prime farmland and fertile soil are critical not just for feeding our families, but for feeding our economy,” Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding said. “Pennsylvania farm families who preserve their farms partner with government to ensure that all Pennsylvania families will have green spaces and healthy farmland available to produce food, income, and jobs.”

 

Pennsylvania leads the nation in preserved farmland. Since 1988, when voters overwhelmingly supported the creation of the Farmland Preservation Program, Pennsylvania has protected 6,284 farms and 630,302 acres in 58 counties from future development, investing more than $1.68 billion in state, county, and local funds.

Pennsylvania partners with county, and sometimes local government and nonprofits to purchase development rights, ensuring a strong future for farming and food security. By selling their land’s development rights, farm owners ensure that their farms will remain farms and never be sold to developers.

The newly preserved farms are in Berks, Butler, Chester, Crawford, Dauphin, Erie, Franklin, Lancaster, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lycoming, Westmoreland, and York counties.

Farms preserved today and dollars invested, by county: 

Berks County – Total investment – $188,545, $76,836 – state, $111,709 – county

The Jeffrey C. Bickel Farm, Windsor Township, 66-acre crop farm

Butler County– Total investment – $188,374, $88,377 – state, $99,997– county

The John M. Allen, Jr. Farm #2, Clinton Township, 54-acre crop farm

York County – Total investment – $177, 366, state only

Jackson Family Farms LP #2, Chanceford Township, a 59-acre crop farm

These investments will multiply public dollars invested in conservation initiatives, including the new $154 million Agricultural Conservation Assistance Program, supporting farmers’ efforts to reduce water pollution and improve soil quality, along with Clean & Green tax incentives, Resource Enhancement and Protection dollars, and other conservation funding. Pennsylvania’s Farmland Preservation Program also secured a $7.85 million federal grant from USDA’s Regional Conservation Partnership Program to support climate-smart conservation on preserved Pennsylvania farms, an investment that will not only improve conservation efforts, but help measure their impact.

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Aging (PDA) today reminded older adults that the annual open enrollment period for Medicare beneficiaries will begin October 15 and end December 7. Any new coverage selected or changes to existing benefits will take effect January 1, 2024.

During open enrollment, new Medicare beneficiaries can sign up for Medicare Prescription Drug coverage and health plans to complement Medicare, and current Medicare beneficiaries can review and join, switch, or drop Medicare Advantage or Prescription Drug Coverage so that it better meets their needs.

To help Medicare beneficiaries understand their options, the department offers free, objective health benefits counseling through Pennsylvania Medicare Education and Decision Insight (PA MEDI). Available at Pennsylvania’s 52 Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), PA MEDI counselors can assist Medicare beneficiaries with plan comparisons, help with enrollment in a new plan, and evaluate eligibility for any of Pennsylvania’s Medicare cost-savings programs.

During this time of year, consumers will see and hear a lot of advertising. Some of the television commercials and mailings from Medicare Advantage plans may showcase special perks and benefits that may not be available in all areas. It’s important to read the plan documents carefully and make sure you understand any coverage rules that may affect your costs before choosing a plan. On PA MEDI’s newly updated webpage, PA MEDI – Medicare CounselingOpens In A New Window, beneficiaries can find helpful tips on choosing a plan and a useful list of Frequently Asked Questions on several Medicare topics.

To help build awareness of PA MEDI as Pennsylvania’s trusted unbiased resource, the Department of Aging has launched a statewide campaign featuring television, radio and digital ads urging consumers to call the PA MEDI Helpline, their local AAA or visit the Department’s website to learn more.

“We know having access to good health care is essential for older adults. Navigating options can be confusing and overwhelming to find the best coverage for an individual’s needs. PA MEDI counselors within the Area Agencies on Aging are the trained and knowledgeable friendly faces available to assist older adults with the many facets that come with choosing the best health care plan,” said Secretary of Aging Jason Kavulich. “Many of the PA MEDI counselors are older adults themselves and have navigated their way through selecting a Medicare plan that’s right for them. We encourage all new or current Medicare beneficiaries to take advantage of the free independent counseling services available through PA MEDI.

PA MEDI provides free, confidential, objective, and easy-to-understand information about Medicare Advantage Plans, prescription drug plans, and Medicare Supplement plans, allowing Medicare beneficiaries to compare plans and determine what best meets their needs. This work is done with the help of approximately 250 dedicated PA MEDI volunteers housed in local AAAs across the Commonwealth.

Individuals can learn more about PA MEDI, events and programs, or becoming a volunteer on the Department of Aging’s websiteOpens In A New Window or by calling the PA MEDI Helpline at 1-800-783-7067, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Older adults can also call their local AAAOpens In A New Window.

PA MEDI is supported by the Administration for Community Living (ACL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award totaling $1.9 million with 100% funding by ACL/HHS.

(Lancaster, Pa.) There’s still plenty of time for fall fun in Lancaster County PA, as our tourism properties are safe & open, with appropriate COVID health protocols and reminders in place for guests & employees alike.

Lancaster’s long-time appeal is based not only on our good value, drive-ability, and diversity of offerings, but also especially on the wide open spaces that await visitors here:

All of which are beautiful this time of year, as the autumn harvest comes in and the leaves begin to turn. Our foliage season runs primarily late September through early November, with the prime period covering the latter two weeks of October.

Take in socially-distanced versions of some of our classic fall events this year, including the mirth & merriment of the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire (now thru 11/1), the delicious celebration that is the Whoopie Pie Festival (10/17), or the special Thomas and Friends Train Rides at Strasburg Rail Road (mid-Oct thru early Nov).

Harvest fun is in abundance at Cherry Crest Adventure Farm (now thru 11/7) – with its #1-rated corn maze & Pumpkin Madness Festival on 11/7 – as well as the homemade offerings & specialty shops of fall-favorite Kitchen Kettle Village and the bountiful pumpkins & other pickings at Country Barn Farm Market.

There’s new options for food & drinks, too, from the Double C restaurant and Our Town Brewery in Lancaster City to St. Boniface Craft Brewing’s Tied House in Lititz. Another great area autumn tradition is enjoying a beverage in the outdoor Biergarten at Bube’s Brewery in Mount Joy – the only U.S. brewery from the 1800s that has survived intact.

Want to get your scare on? Your haunting won’t go wanting at Field of Screams or Jason’s Woods. For a little less maniacal fright, walk along with the Ghost Tours of Lancaster or Strasburg, or ride along with a Spooky Scoot tour from Strasburg Scooters Tours.

With so much to do, visitors will need at least one overnight. Nestle into the AAA 4-Diamond and Forbes 4-Star rated The Inn at Leola Village – A Historic Hotel of America or enjoy the crisp, fresh air at one of our many campgrounds. For a change of pace to your remote-based educational or occupational routine, try a school-cation at the new, one-of-a-kind Cartoon Network Hotel, or a work-cation at one of our many B&Bs such as the Historic Smithton Inn, which has just upgraded the entire property and all rooms with enhanced Wi-Fi and Smart HDTVs.

Lancaster County is a wonderful blend of urban style and rural splendor, with many rich cultures, from the Amish to the arts. Travelers can take in our vibrant downtown city life – with galleries, great dining, specialty shops, and live music – or explore surrounding towns and villages to get a sampling of the heritage, food, craftsmanship, and attractions for which Lancaster is famous.
