New York, NY (June 17, 2020): The Financial Clinic (“the Clinic”) and Propel have partnered to bring virtual financial coaching to recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (“SNAP”) across the United States. Starting in June, SNAP participants can access the Clinic’s virtual financial coaches directly on Propel’s Fresh EBT app, where over 3 million users track their food stamp balance, save money with coupons, and find jobs and other money-making opportunities. The Clinic’s virtual financial coaching service – which takes place in English and Spanish by phone, video conference, or email – is designed to address immediate financial insecurities triggered by COVID-19, while introducing the structure and benefits of longer-term financial coaching.
