The Trump administration is telling states not to pay full November food stamp benefits, revising its previous guidance after winning a temporary victory at the Supreme Court on Friday.
USDA’s latest memo, sent Saturday to state directors of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, instructed states to deliver just 65 percent of benefits during the government shutdown and required those who already sent full payments to claw back that money.
“To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025,” the memo notes.
The department threatened to take various actions if states don’t comply, including cancelling federal funds that go toward administrative costs for the program or holding states liable for “overissuances.”
The Saturday memo is the latest in a string of moves from the Trump administration that has altered federal guidance on SNAP on a near daily basis, first directing states to pay partial benefits, then saying USDA would comply with full benefits, then filing an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court.

Then the judges intervened and here we are.
It's a cartoon.
Like the SNAP folks were not out at dawn spending every penny on the card.
Good luck with that.
Damn judge pulled a fast one!
Win-win for the left - people get benefits, they look like heroes. If not, they can blame Trump for “going to court to starve people”.
Not sure how he could have avoided this briar patch.
Maybe the executive and legislative branches should pressure the Supremes to disclose the rats leaking draft opinions?
>That’s none of your .... OK, I see what you did there
to eat or to not eat, that is the question.
Politico and Yahoo are a cartoon.
Along with SNAP, we need to limit human baby factories to 3 borne children, each.
Then, time to retro regulate what could and could not be bought with SNAP and/or food stamps.
( Ya can’t eat wigs)
I can see a bunch of Lefty breeches being filled inadvertently.
The Golden Golem of Greatness for the win!
Much blue-state pantz-pooping going on right about now...
Trump front and center looks bad. Meanwhile demolishing East Wing and building a ballroom? Optics are terrible of kids going hungry.
This is getting to be a real clusterf*** with conflicting orders and amounts swirling around. The court “victory” we got was only for a few days so why go all medieval until this mess is well and truly sorted out? Looks like a clown show as it is now.
America's fleet of baby blimps...
Triple G, boiiiii!
Saw that in an article. Loved it! 😁
And the dems and MSM will go off about how the POTUS and administration are flip-flopping and creating confusion.
The rogue judges and courts will skate free; the SNAP recipients will end up with some double payments, and only POTUS will end up suffering any consequences over all of this, IMHO.
Ny neighbor got $60/month benefits even though her brother died and left her a lot of money.
However,, plenty of needy people actually deserve those benefits.
Concern troll going to have concern.
I worked in food stamps. In the event of an ‘overpayment’ they just figure out a schedule and hold it out of the future allotments. Kind of like a payment schedule. Stupid but that’s the way they do it.
“However, plenty of needy people actually deserve those benefits.”
Nobody deserves the sweat of another man’s labor as a right, which is why welfare, the forced taking from one to give to an undeserving other, is immoral.
Charity is also undeserved, but since it is freely given as an act of love, it is pleasing to God.
