The Trump administration said it will fund the food assistance program in part this month. The threat of a lapse has incited chaos in Washington, on social media and at food banks nationwide.

Nearly 3 million low-income New Yorkers will get partial SNAP food aid for November after judges forced the Trump administration to fund the program.

Two federal judges have ruled that the Trump administration must at least partially cover food stamp benefits in November. Millions of Americans could still face delays to their benefits, which were scheduled to be distributed tomorrow but disrupted by the government shutdown.

Although states will issue partial November SNAP benefits during the shutdown, it was announced on Monday, North Texas families who count on those benefits say it's unclear when the benefits will reach them. They're thankful for local businesses and organizations stepping up to help during this difficult time.

The decision by Maryland Gov. Wes Moore’s administration will allow 680,000 residents who receive SNAP benefits to continue using the food stamps program through November.

On Saturday, the day SNAP benefits officially froze, Lantrip said the Food Bank held three mobile distribution sites. At its warehouse on Oddie Boulevard in Reno, more than 500 families showed up for boxes of food. It was similar at the other two locations.

"Right now, there are thousands in Broward who don't know where their next meal is coming from," said Broward County Commissioner Nan Rich.
