National
Two U.S. federal judges have ordered the Trump administration to use emergency funds to continue SNAP benefits for 42m Americans amid a government shutdown, though the timeline and extent of payments remain unclear. The U.S. Department of Agriculture planned to freeze payments to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program starting November 1, and said it lacked both the funds and the authority to pay them until Congress passes a spending bill to end the shutdown. However, on Friday, Judge Indira Talwani in Boston gave the administration until Monday to decide on issuing at least partial payments, while Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island mandated immediate disbursement and a compliance plan, citing the potential harm to individuals and local economies. Both judges indicated, however, that the administration had the ability to fund SNAP benefits in full if it used its discretion to tap other funding to cover the shortfall. Despite the rulings, delays in disbursing aid are expected due to logistical processing times.
