US EditionSize of November SNAP Payments Revealed: Here's the Minimum, Maximum Benefits
Federal judges mandated partial use of emergency contingency funds to cover SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans during the shutdown, reducing payments by about 49%.
- On Friday, federal judges in Rhode Island and Boston ordered the government to continue funding SNAP at least partially, prompting the U.S. Department of Agriculture to set new November 2025 SNAP benefit limits using contingency funds.
- The ongoing federal government shutdown means full appropriations for SNAP are unavailable, disrupting benefits that support roughly 42 million Americans and are administered by state and local administrators.
- Among larger households, the household-of-four maximum is reduced from $975 to $497 per month, roughly halving the benefit in November, according to court filings.
- Because payments are run locally, Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday, `The recipients of the SNAP benefits need to understand it's going to take some time to receive this money`, and an exact timetable is not available.
- Allotments vary by household size and location, including higher adjustments for Alaska and Hawai'i, and longer-term funding depends on the shutdown ending or Congress passing standalone legislation.
