Judge orders #Trump administration to deliver full #SNAP benefits to states by Friday

The administration had said it would distribute partial payments in November, but that the process could take weeks.

by By Aria Bendix, November 6, 2025

"But [Judge] McConnell said the Trump administration 'did nothing to ensure' that SNAP benefits would be delivered this week. He ordered the administration to use the funding for child nutrition programs, known as #Section32 funding, in addition to the contingency funds to make sure payments are delivered in full.

" 'The evidence shows that people will go hungry, food pantries will be overburdened and needless suffering will occur,' McConnell said. 'Last weekend, SNAP benefits lapsed for the first time in our nation’s history. This is a problem that could have and should have been avoided.' "
