US EditionMillions of Americans Won’t Get Any SNAP Benefits in November Under USDA Plan, Analysis Finds
Two federal judges ruled to use $5.25 billion in contingency funds to maintain SNAP benefits during the shutdown, aiding millions facing food insecurity, officials said.
- On Friday two federal judges ruled the Trump administration must continue funding Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program using contingency funds to prevent a Nov. 1 freeze.
- USDA's memo refusing contingency funds prompted more than 20 state attorneys general, including Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, to sue for $5.25 billion.
- U.S. District Judge John McConnell said the six billion dollars in contingency funds are appropriated and necessary, and Judge Indira Talwani ordered USDA to indicate by Monday if it will transfer Section 32 funding.

- Food banks say demand has surged as 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP face a historic funding shortfall; Dana Nessel warned, `This is based on my concerns and my fears that people will become desperate without food to eat.
