BUFFALO, N.Y. —
For people who are in need of benefits from SNAP and HEAP, officials are saying they should apply online-only to help combat the spread of COVID-19.
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said that in-person meetings will now be for emergencies only -- like homelessness or having in-home utilities shut off.
For those who are already receiving those benefits, there is no need to re-apply.
