While SNAP benefits will be covered through October at the moment, any lengthy shutdown will very seriously affect those enrolled in the program. Federally funded school meal programs will suffer, as will those funded by nonprofits who will soon find themselves overwhelmed with trying to provide for the shortage of food at home and school.
"The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, or which is for nearly 7 million mothers and children, would see an IMMEDIATE reduction in benefits"
