People who rely on the federal food assistance program might not receive their benefits for the month of November because of the ongoing government shutdown.
Recipients of SNAP food assistance benefits across the country face a looming deadline: Come Nov. 1, their cards may not get refilled because of the government shutdown in Washington.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which serves nearly 42 million people each month, allocates money to states on a monthly basis. Benefits were largely uninterrupted over the past three weeks because funding for October was allocated to states before the shutdown began on Oct. 1.
But in a letter to SNAP state agency and regional directors on Oct. 10, the Department of Agriculture warned that there would not be enough funding to pay full SNAP benefits — also known as food stamps — in November if the shutdown persists.
Typically if on food stamps on a fixed budget but people were told at the end of the month right before funds were reloaded making this advice horseshit
Maybe we should do what the Democrats and Republicans want and subsidize it with private industry
Remember folks we have to vote straight ticket and never look at the candidates only the first letter of their party and what the candidates favorite color is matters
Democrats are on your side they say so and Republicans bad all their fault we have to subsidize everything and compromise and we can always try harder later
blue good because they say so and all the Republicans fault the Democrats good
Vote blue
You ok bro?
No. No he’s not… he’s brainwashed into thinking democrats are somehow good people, that give a shit about the country and not their wallets
