## Sec. 412 benefits and distribution ###
(a)Whenever the President determines that, as a result of a major disaster, low-income households are unable to purchase adequate amounts of nutritious food, he is authorized, under such terms and conditions as he may prescribe, to distribute through the Secretary of Agriculture or other appropriate agencies benefit allotments to such households pursuant to the provisions of the Food Stamp Act of 19644 (P.L. 91–671; 84 Stat. 2048) and to make surplus commodities available pursuant to the provisions of this Act. 4The reference to the “Food Stamp Act of 1964” probably should be a reference to the “Food Stamp Act of 2008”. The global amendment to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act made by section 4002(b)(1)(C) and (2)(DD) of Public Law 110–246 to strike “Food Stamp Act” and insert “Food and Nutrition Act of 2008” was not carried out. ###
(b)The President, through the Secretary of Agriculture or other appropriate agencies, is authorized to continue to make such benefit allotments and surplus commodities available to such households for so long as he determines necessary, taking into consideration such factors as he deems appropriate, including the consequences of the major disaster on the earning power of the households, to which assistance is made available under this section. ###
(c)Nothing in this section shall be construed as amending or otherwise changing the provisions of the Food Stamp Act of 19644 except as they relate to the availability of supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits in an area affected by a major disaster. **[**[42 U.S.C. 5179](/us/usc/t42/s5179)**]**
