Amid uncertainty over November SNAP benefits, the Southeast Ohio Foodbank is contending with an influx in demand.

Some 42 million recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits will have to wait for them to be restored after losing them on Saturday.

One day after the Department of Agriculture said it would tap an emergency fund to pay partial benefits for the 42 million Americans in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, President Trump reversed course and announced that his administration will not provide any additional funding for the nation's main nutrition assistance program until the government shutdown comes to an end.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides government assistance to bring food and other necessities to low-income households.

The Trump administration has announced plans to distribute partial SNAP benefits in November after rulings from two federal judges to resume payments.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday signaled that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits could restart as soon as this week.

Those who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits should continue to do so after two federal court rulings ordered program funding on Friday.

Michigan joined a multi-state lawsuit seeking federal contingency funds for SNAP benefits amid the government shutdown.
