Government Shutdown-Food Aid\u00a9\u00a0Matt Rourke<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

States administering a federal food aid program serving about 42 million Americans faced uncertainty Monday over whether they can \u2014 and should \u2014 provide full monthly benefits during an ongoing legal battle involving the U.S. government shutdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Donald Trump\u2019s administration over weekend demanded that states \u201cundo\u201d full benefits<\/a> that were paid under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program during a one-day window between when a federal judge ordered full funding and a Supreme Court justice put a temporary pause<\/a> on that order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A federal appeals court now is considering whether to impose a longer halt to the full benefits. And Congress is considering whether to fund SNAP as part of a proposal to end the government shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some states are warning of \u201ccatastrophic operational disruptions\u201d if the Trump administration does not reimburse them for those SNAP benefits<\/a> they already authorized. Meanwhile, other states are providing partial monthly SNAP benefits with federal money or using their own funds to load electronic benefit cards for SNAP recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millions receive aid while others wait<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trump’s administration initially said SNAP benefits would not be available<\/a> in November because of the government shutdown. After some states and nonprofit groups sued, two judges each ruled the administration could not skip November\u2019s benefits entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The administration then said it would use an emergency reserve fund to provide 65% of the maximum monthly benefit. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell said that wasn’t good enough, and ordered full funding<\/a> for SNAP benefits by Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some states acted quickly to direct their EBT vendors to disburse full monthly benefits to SNAP recipients. Millions of people in those states received funds to buy groceries before Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson put McConnell’s order on hold Friday night, pending further deliberation by an appeals court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millions more people<\/a> still have not received SNAP payments for November, because their states were waiting on further guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers SNAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump’s administration has argued that the judicial order to provide full benefits violates the Constitution by infringing on the spending power of the legislative and executive branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

States are fighting attempt to freeze SNAP benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, the Trump administration said states had moved too quickly and erroneously released full SNAP benefits after last week\u2019s rulings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025,\u201d Patrick Penn, deputy undersecretary of Agriculture, wrote to state SNAP directors. He warned that states could face penalties if they did not comply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisconsin, which was among the first to load full benefits after McConnell\u2019s order, had its federal reimbursement frozen. As a result, the state\u2019s SNAP account could be depleted as soon Monday, leaving no money to reimburse stores that sell food to SNAP recipients, according to a court filing submitted by those that had sued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Democratic governors vowed to challenge any federal attempt to claw back money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Connecticut, Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont said \u201cthose who received their benefits should not worry about losing them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, Connecticut does not need to take back SNAP benefits already sent to the 360,000 people who depend on them for food and who should have never been caught in the middle of this political fight,\u201d Lamont said. \u201cWe have their back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
