US EditionGeorgians and Floridians Won't Receive November SNAP Benefits if Government Shutdown Continues
Nearly 1.4 million Georgians, including over 640,000 children, face a halt in SNAP benefits starting Nov. 1 due to insufficient federal funding amid the government shutdown.
- Starting Nov. 1, 2025, the Georgia Department of Human Services announced Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits will not be available if the federal shutdown continues, halting November payments to families in need.
- Because the USDA's FNS ordered vendors not to receive issuance files, the U.S. Department of Agriculture told Georgia DHS there is insufficient federal funding to issue November SNAP benefits.
- Nearly 1.4 million Georgians rely on SNAP, and the program injects more than $8 billion into Georgia's economy, supporting over 2,300 grocery stores.
- For now, leftover October SNAP funds can be used until they run out, and Georgia DHS said it will communicate directly with clients and urged them to plan ahead and shop for needed items.
- With lawmakers proposing emergency funds, Georgia Democrats in the U.S. House urged the USDA to deploy a $5 billion contingency fund as new federal work requirements take effect Nov. 1.
