US EditionTrump administration says it will fully fund SNAP while court appeal plays out
USDA will fully fund SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans in November 2025 following a court order despite DOJ appeals, ensuring release of roughly $8 billion.
- On Friday the US Department of Agriculture told state agencies it will fully fund this month's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for 42 million low-income Americans while it challenges a court order.
- District Judge John McConnell concluded Thursday that the USDA's partial-funding plan did not comply with his prior order in a suit brought by municipalities, nonprofits, and labor groups and ordered release of $8 billion.
- On Friday the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals denied the US Department of Justice's request to block McConnell's order, and a DOJ spokesperson said the administration must comply until a higher court acts.
- Ruwa Romman responded that 'This is the right decision morally and legally, but it's absurd it was even a fight to begin with', in reaction to the guidance, while Perryman criticized the administration's actions.
- Amid the longest government shutdown, lawmakers remain deadlocked as Senate Majority Leader John Thune called Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's offer a 'nonstarter' and Congress showed no sign of reopening the government.
