An official with the Agriculture Department told a federal court Wednesday that allotments to SNAP beneficiaries for November will be 65% of their normal rate instead of the 50% previously estimated by the Trump administration.
The administration had told a federal judge Monday that it would use more than $4 billion in contingency funds to distribute half of the monthly benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, during the ongoing government shutdown....
Exact timing for distributing benefits to the more than 40 million recipients is still uncertain. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a social media post Monday that it will take “several weeks to execute partial payments.”
She added that when the government reopens, “FULL benefits can get to families without delay.”
The suffering Democrats are imposing to put more money in insurance company pockets is infuriating.
