Millions of Americans will be without their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits in November because of the government shutdown.
Government Shutdown and SNAP
What we know:
According to a message posted on the United States Department of Agriculture’s website, the federal funding for SNAP benefits has run dry.
That means there will be no benefits issued on Nov. 1.
People who have existing credits on their Lone Star Card will still be able to use them.
Local perspective:
There seems to be no end in sight for Rochelle Kent and the 3.5 million Texans who rely on SNAP.
