US EditionSupreme Court extends its order blocking full SNAP payments, with shutdown potentially near an end
- On Tuesday, the Supreme Court extended a temporary order blocking full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program payments, keeping the administrative stay through Nov. 13 at 11:59 p.m. ET Thursday and leaving millions of Americans waiting for aid.

- If the House approves and the president signs, SNAP funding would be restored, though logistics may delay full payments, and Sauer said `Congress appears to be on the brink of breaking the deadlock, though that outcome is unsure`.
- Shifting USDA guidance has left states implementing SNAP payments and families delaying purchases unsure, while food pantries report increased pressure and sacrifices like forgoing medications.
