How full-benefit payments for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will work
The Donald Trump administration announced that SNAP “will be partially funded” for November, using roughly $4.65 billion of an emergency reserve to cover about half the program’s usual monthly cost. But here are some unclear points: It’s unclear how many recipients will get full benefits, how many will get reduced amounts, or exactly when payments will hit recipients’ accounts. Also, there is legal uncertainty: a federal judge ordered full payments, the administration appealed, and the status of states’ reimbursements remains partly unclear.
