A federal court has left in place an order requiring the Trump administration to provide complete Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments for the month of November. The decision ensures that millions of Americans who rely on food assistance will receive their full monthly benefits without interruption.

The court filing came at the same time as the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a memo to state agencies across the country. In the memo, the USDA confirmed that it is actively working to make the necessary funds available by Friday to cover full monthly SNAP benefits for eligible recipients.

The timing of these developments highlights the ongoing coordination between federal agencies and state governments to ensure seamless distribution of food assistance benefits. State agencies have been closely monitoring the situation as they prepare to distribute the November payments to SNAP beneficiaries nationwide.

This development represents a significant step in maintaining the continuity of food assistance programs during a period of administrative transition. The full SNAP payments will provide crucial support to low-income families and individuals who depend on these benefits to meet their basic nutritional needs throughout the month.
