At least 25 states plan to cut off food aid benefits in November - Politico

SNAP Benefit Cuts Set to Begin in November

At least 25 states, spanning from California to Alabama, are preparing to halt Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits starting November 1, 2025. This pause comes amid a federal government shutdown that has disrupted funding for the program, which provides critical food aid to millions of Americans.

The Impact on Families During the Holidays

The timing of this cut is especially concerning as it falls just before the busy holiday season, a period when many families rely heavily on SNAP support. States like Illinois and Oregon have already warned residents that they will not receive November benefits, affecting vulnerable populations including children and seniors. The suspension threatens to increase food insecurity and hardship across communities nationwide.

Federal Funding and Political Challenges

SNAP is fully federally funded, and the current shutdown means states lack the resources to backfill lost aid. Advocates urge federal leaders to resolve political impasses promptly to restore this essential lifeline and prevent widespread hunger during a critical time of the year.
