Illinois Residents Able to Access SNAP Benefits After Tech Glitch Fixed

Krissten Penik, the manager of the Aldi near Foster and Pulaski avenues, said the outage had caused havoc at the Northwest Side store.
“We’ve been spending all day restocking groceries, because people have just had to leave them and go,” Penik said. “It has been crazy.”

Roseland resident Elizabeth Nix said she’s heard from friends as far away as California who could not use their cards.

“I was going to the store this morning and it did not work and I called [DHS],” she said. “They can’t even activate my card right now.”
