Millions Face Food Aid Cuts as Government Shutdown Continues
TL;DR Summary
SNAP benefits for over 750,000 Alabamians will be paused starting November 1 due to a federal government shutdown and lack of funding, although recipients can still use benefits issued before the shutdown. The USDA has indicated that they will not use contingency funds to cover November benefits, leading to a suspension until federal funding resumes. The Women, Infants, and Children program continues to operate independently.
