SNAP Update 10/27/2025: Effective November 1, 2025, due to the federal government shutdown, SNAP beneficiaries will not be issued their November food benefits until federal funding is restored.
November and future monthly benefits will start again once federal funding is restored.
What You Need to Know:
-- No November 2025 Benefits at this time: Households will not receive their regular SNAP benefits for November 2025 until funding is restored.
-- Prior Benefits Unaffected: You may continue to redeem any benefits issued to your Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card prior to November 1, 2025, at any SNAP-authorized retailer. This suspension does not impact previously issued benefits.
-- Combined Allotments: If you received a combined October and November allotment, you will only receive the prorated October portion. Retroactive benefits will be issued once the suspension is lifted.
