SNAP Benefits for November to Be Restored in North Carolina by Friday: NCDHHS

On Wednesday, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis' office said federally funded food assistance will be fully restored for roughly 600,000 Coloradans, moving `as rapidly as possible` to process payments with remaining 95% receiving full November benefits by Thursday.
After legal rulings and federal orders, a coalition of 25 states sued, two judges mandated emergency funds on Oct. 31 and Nov. 6, but the USDA limited payments to 65% before the Supreme Court paused funding on Nov. 7.
State officials said about 32,000 Coloradans had already received full November benefits, roughly 5% of recipients; the average monthly SNAP benefit is about $370, with eligibility under 165% of the federal poverty level.
Nonprofit food banks reported heightened demand, and Gov. Jared Polis requested $10 million for food banks, which the legislature approved, urging donations to Feeding Colorado.
The funding package funds the U.S. Department of Agriculture through next September and includes full SNAP payments for November, while Colorado Department of Human Services will notify recipients about benefits in coming days.
