PHOENIX — Gov. Katie Hobbs may declare a state of emergency in Arizona due to delays in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, which are affecting hundreds of thousands of residents across the state.

“We’re looking at all the options. We’re considering a state of emergency,” Hobbs told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Outspoken with Bruce & Gaydos on Thursday. “There’s a limited pool of funding that’s available.”

Although no decision has been made yet, Hobbs stressed the importance of taking the proper legal steps to avoid future challenges.
