The Trump administration announced it will deplete SNAP contingency funds to issue 50% of usual benefits for November's payments to about 22 million households, due to ongoing funding delays from congressional inaction. This follows a federal court order and is corroborated by reports from CNN, NPR, Reuters, and Politico. Full restoration depends on budget resolution.




They are also reminding stores that they can't discount food just for SNAP recipients

Seems reasonable and the government should be back open soon so that they get back to full funding

Frito lays and Coke products need to be banned.

Seems he’s really trying hard for the conmen on this for some reason. I don’t get it, but maybe he sees so called middle as being sympathetic to these crooks

Bad move to pay out anything at all, but I guess they're obeying the 2 judges' ruling.

NO SNAP, no government opening, nothing except substantial reductions in government workers and removal of deadbeats on SNAP.

The USDA had contingency funds exactly for this purpose

This is the right thing to do

Make it permanent ... good place to start. Get all illegals off of SNAP, then start requiring work to keep them.

serious question...what happens if the govt opens this weekend?

They better only get the 50% they normally get but I could see the gov't absolutely sucking as usual and giving them an additional 100%

The Judge in RI did not say that. In fact the Rhode Island judge was very complimentary of Trump and the swift action of his administration.

"The court greatly appreciates the president’s quick and definitive response to this court’s order and his desire to provide the necessary SNAP funding,"

Teaching generation upon generation to rely on, not themselves, but others for food is the right thing to do?

Paying people here illegally via SNAP is the right thing to do?

You have a warped sense of right and wrong.
