SNAP benefits are currently disrupted. Here’s what to know and how to help.
UPDATE AS OF 11/3/25
The White House administration says it will comply with recent court orders and provide partial November SNAP benefits. The administration says it will release emergency funds, totaling roughly $5.25 billion, but will not supplement those funds in order to meet the full month’s need. To fully cover November benefits for the food assistance program, the federal government would need to spend upward of $9 billion, so there’s still a gap in what SNAP beneficiaries will be receiving. We do not know yet exactly when funds for SNAP recipients will be available for use on their cards.
