Trump Administration Live Updates: Government Ordered to Pay Food Stamp Benefits During Shutdown

nytimes.com

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Friday to continue paying for food stamps during the government shutdown, siding with local officials and nonprofits that had sought to spare millions of low-income Americans from losing benefits in a matter of days.

It was the second of two rulings in the span of about an hour that found the administration had acted unlawfully, after it had refused to tap an emergency reserve — enacted by Congress and totaling in the billions of dollars — to sustain the critical anti-hunger program.

But it remained unclear if or when food stamps would actually reach the roughly 42 million people who rely on monthly federal help to purchase groceries. It was also unclear the exact amounts that they would receive. Lawyers for the Trump administration had previously suggested it could take weeks to disburse benefits, and the Justice Department could still try to appeal in the case, perhaps further delaying aid.
