US EditionMDHS to Partially Distribute SNAP Benefits
Mississippi will issue up to 65% of November SNAP benefits starting Nov. 10 due to federal shutdown and legal disputes, affecting about 385,000 residents, the state said.
- On Monday, the Mississippi Department of Human Services announced it will begin partial November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program distributions, covering up to 65% of allotments on a rolling schedule between the 4th and the 21st.
- Federal court rulings and FNS guidance have created confusion as the Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block orders requiring full SNAP funding.
- The partial rollout will cut average aid for the average beneficiary by about $65, reaching roughly 1 in 8 Mississippians—over 350,000 to 385,000 people, with more than 67% in households with children.
- MDHS advised SNAP recipients in Mississippi to register at ConnectEBT, change PINs and monitor transactions while warning of increased fraud, and said recipients do not need to act to receive partial payments.
- Senate talks and a bipartisan deal have begun unwinding the shutdown, but full SNAP benefits await government reopening; the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to decide late Tuesday on halting lower-court orders after some states issued full payments.
