flag The Trump admin funds SNAP partially with $4.65B, restoring half benefits after shutdown halted payments for 42M.

flag The Trump administration will partially fund SNAP, providing about half of normal benefits using a $4.65 billion emergency fund, following court orders to continue the program during the ongoing government shutdown. flag The funding, which covers roughly half the typical $190 monthly benefit, comes after payments were halted for nearly 42 million Americans. flag The exact timing of benefit deposits remains uncertain, with delays possible for up to two weeks in some states. flag Democratic leaders, including Chuck Schumer and Patty Murray, condemned the partial funding as inadequate and unacceptable, urging full immediate funding. flag Republicans blocked a Democratic effort to fully fund SNAP, and the shutdown continues as a major political standoff, with upcoming gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia seen as a referendum on the administration’s policies.
