In accordance with two federal court rulings, the USDA has announced the reduction of SNAP maximum allotments to 50% of the eligible household's current allotments for November.

A new memo from the U.S. Department of Agriculture says the federal government is working to release full November SNAP benefits as soon as today, even as the Trump administration continues to argue in court that it doesn’t have the funding to do so.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP, following a week of indecision about the program’s fate during the government shutdown.

The government shutdown means more than $600 million per month won’t go to millions of Texas SNAP beneficiaries who pump money into state's economy.

After SNAP benefits were halted Saturday, the USDA reminded retailers they must comply with the Equal Treatment Rule, which bars special food discounts for SNAP/EBT customers.

Democrats argue Gov. Abbott has used his authority during COVID-19, the Uvalde shooting and border operations to free up emergency funds.

On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a lower court’s order to fully fund SNAP payments.

The Trump administration agreed to issue partial benefits to SNAP recepients following two federal court rulings. However, the calculations and distributions could take anywhere from days to months.
