Trump administration will present solely half of regular meals stamp advantages in November

The Trump administration mentioned Monday that it’ll present solely half of the traditional meals stamp advantages for November by tapping into this system’s contingency fund amid the federal government shutdown. But recipients aren’t prone to see the funds instantly. Some $4.65 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program’s contingency fund will “be obligated to cover 50% of eligible households’ current allotments” for November, in line with a sworn assertion from a US Department of Agriculture official submitted in federal courtroom.
