Courts Order Trump to Keep Paying Food Stamps Amid Shutdown
Update: 2025-10-31
Description
Two federal court rulings have halted the Trump administration's plan to pause SNAP benefits during the government shutdown. Judges in Rhode Island and Boston ordered the Department of Agriculture to use contingency funds to keep SNAP partially funded in November. The administration had planned to stop SNAP benefits unless Congress approved new spending, which could have left millions of families without food aid. The situation remains tense as the government and advocates argue over the use of emergency funds and the potential for cutting off millions of families.
