A federal judge ruled Thursday that the USDA should fully fund November’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.
And as expected, the Trump administration has appealed that ruling after earlier agreeing to the idea of partially paying the month’s benefits with contingency funds. November benefits, meanwhile, have been unavailable to the millions of people who buy food with SNAP.
Ultimately, funding the program is a decision that will need to be made by Congress, as the federal shutdown has now continued well past the month mark.
