The state legislature last week passed a $388 million dollar supplemental budget to meet the Commonwealth’s needs through the fiscal year that ends in June. And many low-income Fall River residents could see some immediate benefits.
State Senator Michael Rodrigues, Fall River senator and chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means that handles the state budget says the state will continue to fund the federal COVID extension on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, along with other assistance, through the end of June.
The City of Fall River may also benefit from a proposal moving through the legislature to provide additional funding for needed road repair.
