According to the lastest from the USDA, SNAP recipients will now receive about 65% of their usual benefits this month, up from the 50% rate estimated in a Monday court filing, amid the record-long government shutdown.
From NBC News:
The administration had told a federal judge Monday that it would use more than $4 billion in contingency funds to distribute half of the monthly benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, during the ongoing government shutdown.
The revised figures mean a family of four in the lower 48 states will receive about $646 for the month.
Exact timing for distributing benefits to the more than 40 million recipients is still uncertain. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a social media post Monday that it will take “several weeks to execute partial payments.”
