President Trump is considering funding SNAP if the courts give him the green light, after a federal judge ordered the administration to use emergency funds for the program amidst the ongoing government shutdown. However, government lawyers are uncertain if they can legally use these funds due to conflicting court opinions. Trump has asked his legal team for clarification and has expressed concern about people going hungry. Meanwhile, federal judges have blocked the administration from cutting off SNAP funding and have ordered the administration to use contingency funds. The current emergency fund may not cover all November benefits, but Section Thirty-Two funds could potentially fill the gap. The situation is high-stakes, as millions rely on SNAP benefits and any lapse in payments would have a real impact on families.
