Food Banks Prepare for SNAP Funding Deadline
Approximately 42 million people in the U.S. who rely on SNAP benefits may soon face difficulties in affording food due to the ongoing government shutdown.
The Trump administration has warned that EBT cards, which hold SNAP funds, will not be refilled after the funds run out on November 1, despite available emergency contingency money.
The administration has until "no later than Monday" to consider paying at least partial SNAP food benefits, as stated by a federal judge on Friday.
