A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to fully fund November SNAP benefits, rejecting 65% funding, to prevent hunger for 16 million children.
A federal judge in Rhode Island has ordered the Trump administration to fully fund November SNAP benefits, rejecting its plan to provide only 65% of maximum allotments.
The ruling, issued by Judge John J. McConnell Jr., requires the government to ensure full payments by Friday, citing the risk of hunger for 16 million children and the legal obligation to uphold the program.
The decision follows lawsuits by cities, nonprofits, and Democratic officials who argued that partial funding would cause severe harm.
The judge criticized the administration for failing to act expeditiously despite access to over $4.6 billion in emergency reserves.
The administration has not indicated whether it will appeal, but delays in delivering benefits are expected due to system updates.
The case highlights ongoing tensions over federal funding during the government shutdown.
