The Daily Money ALL THE MONEY NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW   Tuesday, February 28 It's Tuesday, it's Medora and I'm in the Windy City -- that's Chicago, if you're not familiar. And we're still not sure if it's called that because our politicians are so full of wind, or the city is literally windy off Lake Michigan. Or both. It is election day here today, after all. Local elections aside, today's a big day. Pandemic-era extra SNAP benefits, formerly called food stamps, expire today for millions of Americans. Starting tomorrow, households receiving SNAP benefits will see on average $90 less per month for food, which is pretty alarming considering grocery prices have risen at a double-digit pace year over year. That's why we've put together a list of options for people to explore if they're looking to offset some of that monthly loss. Aside from that, oral arguments begin today at the Supreme Court over the merits of President Joe Biden's plan to cancel some student debt. Arguments from each side are widely known from previously filed briefs so observers will look for the line of questioning from the judges to glean which way they might be leaning.
