US EditionTrump administration says it will fully fund SNAP while court appeal plays out
USDA complies with court to fund SNAP for 42 million Americans despite Trump's appeal during the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
- On Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture notified states it would fulfill obligations to fully fund SNAP in November, with USDA's Food and Nutrition Service working to implement issuances under the November 6, 2025 order.
- On Friday, the Trump administration asked a federal appeals court for an emergency pause after U.S. District Judge John McConnell ordered full SNAP payments by Friday, creating a legal standoff.
- Earlier this week, the administration tapped $4.65 billion contingency funds to cover about 65% of benefits, while a court filing said the government shutdown limits November payments and Section 32 child nutrition funds are off-limits.
- The administration urged the court to permit partial payments, citing a crisis caused by congressional failure, while U.S. District Judge John McConnell pressed that any delay is unacceptable.
- With a court appeal ongoing, the Trump administration sought a pause hours before benefits would 'soon' be available, while President Donald Trump linked resumption to opening the government.
