(WDNews) – The Trump administration said it plans to use contingency funds to cover at least part/portion of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments during the ongoing government shutdown.
SNAP, which helps feed about 42 million Americans, faces funding uncertainty after the lapse in federal appropriations. U.S. District Court Judge Jack McConnell had suggested the administration use money from the Child Nutrition Program and other available sources to fully fund November benefits, but officials declined that option.
The partial funding plan aims to prevent immediate disruption for low-income families, though it remains unclear how long the program can continue under contingency measures. You may not receive your full amount reports say.
