Description

One issue that sticks out from the historic halt of the federal government has been the wobbling of the food assistance money meant for 440,000 Minnesotans.


Over the weekend, there was a back-and-forth in the courts over SNAP. In that time, Minnesota leaders said they fully restored SNAP benefits. But now it’s unclear whether that money is available from the federal government.


Minnesota and its SNAP administrators across the counties are navigating these conflicting developments. Barb Dahl is the Scott County Human Services director and joined Minnesota Now to share the latest she’s seeing in SNAP benefits.
