Two U.S. federal judges have ordered the Trump administration to use emergency funds to continue SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans amid a government shutdown, though the timeline and extent of payments remain unclear. The U.S. Department of Agriculture planned to freeze payments to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program starting November 1, and said it lacked both the funds and the authority to pay them until Congress passes a spending bill to end the shutdown. However, on Friday, Judge Indira Talwani in Boston gave the administration until Monday to decide on issuing at least partial payments, while Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island mandated immediate disbursement and a compliance plan, citing the potential harm to individuals and local economies. Both judges indicated, however, that the administration had the ability to fund SNAP benefits in full if it used its discretion to tap other funding to cover the shortfall. Despite the rulings, delays in disbursing aid are expected due to logistical processing times.

As federal funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is set to lapse on November 1, millions of students from low-income families are at risk of hunger. Approximately 44m individuals in 22m households rely on SNAP, with nearly 39% being children. Mallory DePrekel, CEO of Communities in Schools of Michigan, expressed concern: "We're dipping into our rainy day funds, and we seem to have had a lot of rainy days recently." Schools are coordinating with local food banks and community organizations to address the increasing food insecurity among students. The National School Boards Association has urged Congress to resolve the funding impasse, emphasizing that "schools are doing everything they can to provide safe, stable environments where students can learn and thrive—but they cannot do it alone."
