When will SNAP benefits arrive? Missouri and Kansas communities are trying to fill the gap

by

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said she will hold food drives on her statewide budget listening tour, while Missouri is transferring funding to provide meals to seniors

A Rhode Island federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to find enough money to restore full funding for SNAP benefits by Friday.

The government “failed to consider the harms individuals who rely on those benefits would suffer,” said U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell Jr.

The ruling comes in response to a challenge filed by cities and nonprofits after the administration said it would halt funding on Nov. 1. McConnell and another federal judge in Boston ordered the government to use emergency funds to keep SNAP funding flowing, but Trump administration officials said it was only able to partially cover the payments.
