US EditionWhite House ‘fully complying’ with court on SNAP benefits after Trump stirs confusion
The USDA will partially fund SNAP using $4.65 billion in contingency funds amid the shutdown, serving 42 million Americans with delayed payments, White House said.
- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified the administration is complying with court orders and will allow partial November SNAP payments after President Donald Trump’s post on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
- On Oct. 31, U.S. District Court Chief Judge John McConnell Jr. ordered the USDA to decide by Nov. 3 whether to use $5 billion in contingency funds amid the 35-day government shutdown.
- About 42 million Americans receive SNAP, including 1.4 million Michiganders, while the emergency contingency fund holds about $4.65 billion but more than $8 billion is needed to fully fund November.
- The judge ordered the U.S. Department of Agriculture to respond and scheduled a Nov. 6 hearing after churches, labor unions and nonprofit organizations asked to compel release of withheld November SNAP funding.
- State payment schedules vary widely, affecting when recipients see funds, as Ohio Department of Job and Family Services cuts maximum allotments by 50% and Republicans in the U.S. House need seven Democratic votes to pass funding.
