On November tenth, the Trump administration attempted to halt full payments for the SNAP federal food aid program during the government shutdown, a move that could impact forty-two million Americans. The Supreme Court is considering whether to extend a freeze on full payments, while Congress may soon pass a funding package that would refill SNAP funds and reimburse states that covered benefits during the shutdown.

This ongoing legal battle and government shutdown are causing significant hardship for millions of Americans reliant on these vital food assistance programs.
