US EditionTrump administration orders states to undo full SNAP benefits for November
- On Sunday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture ordered states to undo steps issuing full SNAP benefits for November 2025 after the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily paused a lower-court order.
- A district judge Thursday ordered the Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits for November, but USDA warnings last month said the well has run dry and no benefits would be issued November 1.
- Nearly 42 million Americans rely on SNAP monthly, and the government shutdown caused the program's first lapse in its 61-year history, while Wisconsin loaded benefits for nearly 700,000 residents, including nearly 270,000 kids.
- States now face possible penalties, as the USDA warned on Sunday it may cancel the Federal share of State administrative costs and hold states liable for overissuances, risking unpaid vendors and legal claims.
- Nonprofits and Democratic attorneys general sued to force November coverage, while food banks have been swamped last month as hundreds of thousands of federal workers and millions lost benefits.
