People in some states get SNAP food aid while others still wait for their November benefit
- On 09-11-2025, some U.S. states began issuing full November SNAP benefits after a federal judge ordered the funds to be provided, while millions of SNAP recipients remain in limbo.
- Because of the federal government shutdown, the Trump administration initially said last month it would not fund November SNAP benefits but later said it would use an emergency reserve fund containing more than 4.6 billion to provide partial payments.
- Hawaii, Oregon and Wisconsin moved first to process full payments after the judge's order, while California, Kansas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Washington confirmed some Friday disbursements, and Colorado said about 32,000 recipients received full benefits.
- States responded with emergency funding and direct payments as delays drove surges at food banks and Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis urged rapid action, calling the blocking baffling.
- Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily paused the judicial order Friday to allow an appeals court time to consider a longer halt, and remaining SNAP beneficiaries would receive November funds later this month if distribution remains unblocked.
