November SNAP payments will go out after initially being cancelled for the month of November due to the government shutdown. However, they will be only half the amount that recipients usually get, according to the Trump administration. Congress has been in deadlock over the impending spending bill, causing the larger government shutdown.
About 1 in 8 U.S. residents get an average of $187 a month per person in the food assistance known as SNAP. For the first time, the Trump administration stopped the payments due at the beginning of the month.
