SNAP payments delayed by the shutdown will resume, with USDA aiming to get all November benefits to recipients by Monday.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said all SNAP recipients should receive their November payments by Monday “at the latest” after a weekslong delay caused by the recent government shutdown.
The suspension of SNAP benefits stressed millions of recipients and placed a larger burden on food banks trying to fill the gaps. It also sparked confusion among states as courts weighed whether the federal government was obligated to cover states’ SNAP payments during the shutdown.
As a result, some states paid full benefits, others paid partial benefits and some paid none.
“We immediately last night began moving out, making sure the program continues unabated starting once the government reopened, and hopefully by the end of this week most will receive it, at the very latest on Monday,” Rollins said Thursday on CNN.
She noted that timing could still vary by state.
“Keep in mind the SNAP program is funded by the federal government, but it is the 50 states, each with its own infrastructure, that move that money out — a patchwork that made it so complicated,” she said.
An estimated 42 million Americans use SNAP, representing 12 percent of the U.S. population.

We have countless US Government Federal employees who went to food banks and soup kitchens because they were on a paid 1.25+ month vacation that didn’t affect their vacation bank.
We need a huge amount of Whoop A— on all of these people.

or same ol same ol?
THE FRAUD IN THE SNAP PROGRAM IS MASSIVE.
MORE THAN 50% IS BEING PAID TO ILLEGALS.
CLEAN IT UP OR HALT IT COMPLETELY.
OVER 5,000 DEAD PERSONs
OVER 186,000 MEN-WOMEN-KIDS ARE DUPLICATES
THIS IS INSANITY
Even in a government shutdown like we just had, it is absolutely unthinkable that the military should not be paid. Do they now get back pay? I had read that some folks would get back pay with a bonus. I should think that the military would be deserving of this.
What business is it of an illegal alien even being on the Snap program/ The less they allow this stuff, the less problems we will have with them trying to get past our borders. They have to be made to realize that most of the government programs are for American citizens...which they are NOT!
