USDA Revises SNAP Cuts: 65% Benefits for November

USDA Revises SNAP Benefits: 65% of Usual Assistance for NovemberThe USDA announced a change to its plan for food assistance benefits, stating that recipients will get up to 65% of their usual Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) assistance for November. This comes after weeks of uncertainty for nearly 42 million people who rely on this aid. The administration initially planned to cut benefits in half, but after court orders and further analysis, they decided to provide 65% of the usual amount. Some individuals will face deeper cuts, with some receiving no benefits at all. The lowest-income families will be impacted the least, with minimum benefits starting at $16 for households with one or two people. States are now working to process these partial payments, with some starting as early as Friday. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
