US EditionGovernment Shutdown 2025 Update: SNAP Benefits at Risk as Stalemate Enters Day 30
The lapse in SNAP funding threatens food security for 42 million low-income Americans as states allocate emergency aid amid a stalled federal government shutdown.

- Program figures show SNAP costs about $8 billion monthly, the maximum monthly benefit for a family of four is $994, and 2.8 million people in Florida will be affected.
- Nevada officials tapped emergency funds and approved $30 million to aid food banks, while Democratic attorneys general and governors from 25 states filed a federal lawsuit to force SNAP funding.
- The Congressional Budget Office projects the shutdown could cost the U.S. economy $7 billion to $14 billion, hunger experts warn of severe impacts, and families expecting November back pay will receive delayed payments once funding is restored.
