Tennessee SNAP recipients got partial November benefits on Nov. 12 due to federal shutdown, with full payments pending federal reopening.
Tennessee SNAP recipients began receiving 65% of their November benefits on November 12, 2025, due to the federal government shutdown, with payments issued to those scheduled between November 1 and 12 and later recipients getting partial amounts on their regular dates.
The Tennessee Department of Human Services (TDHS) followed USDA guidance to use emergency funds, stating full benefits will be processed once the federal government reopens.
Some recipients reported receiving far less than expected, causing hardship, especially with Thanksgiving approaching.
TDHS confirmed the calculations were correct and said full payments could resume by Monday, pending federal action.
