US EditionN.Y. Gov. Hochul Announces $30M in Emergency Food Funds Days Before SNAP Benefits Set to Run Out
New York allocates $30 million to provide over 16 million meals amid federal SNAP benefit pause caused by ongoing government shutdown.
- On Monday, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced she is fast-tracking $30 million in state funds to support more than 16 million meals as SNAP benefits pause during a government shutdown.
- Because the government ordered states to withhold November benefits, the federal shutdown prompted states to withhold SNAP aid for low-income, elderly, and disabled recipients starting Nov. 1.
- Nearly three million New Yorkers who receive SNAP could lose benefits, including 121,536 residents in Congressional District 11, affecting families, children and seniors who rely on SNAP.
- Hochul said she is doing everything to soften the blow while Republicans and Democrats blame each other, and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis urged her Friday to pressure Senators Schumer and Gillibrand.
- With no compromise, political stances leave SNAP funding unresolved as Republicans offered a stopgap through Nov. 21, which Democrats said ignored health care concerns and Republicans estimated would cost over $1 trillion.
