One month after the government shutdown at midnight on Oct. 1, the Trump administration announced that SNAP benefits will be suspended starting Saturday, Nov. 1.The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the largest federal nutrition program in the United States; its purpose is to provide food benefits to low-income families. Eligibility varies by state, but usually depends on income, household size and expenses. SNAP benefits are paid for by the federal government through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Nutrition Services (FNS). Due to the current government shutdown, the money needed to support SNAP will not be sent to the states. The USDA placed the blame on the lack of congressional agreement in a statement posted on their website. “Senate Democrats have now voted 13 times to not fund the food stamp program,” USDA said. “Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01.” Existing SNAP funds on EBT cards from the month of October will still be usable for November. If the federal shutdown keeps going, however, Snap benefits for November will not be sent out. Applications for SNAP are still available during the shutdown period if you aren’t already a recipient. Current recipients must continue meeting SNAP eligibility requirements and reporting as usual, so their benefits can be processed and available once the government reopens. Many states are trying to allocate funds to support the one in eight Americans who rely on SNAP to afford their groceries. Since states do not usually fund SNAP, their options are limited. However, some of the steps being taken include boosting funds to food pantries or urging USDA to allow the use of contingency funds or alternative funding paths. At this point, Alabama has not moved to provide state funding to sustain SNAP benefits during the shutdown. A letter addressed to Gov. Kay Ivey shows senate democrats urging the governor to hold a special session of the Alabama Legislature to approve emergency funding that will keep the benefits running during the shutdown.
