Pennsylvania Resumes Paying Full SNAP Benefits following End of Federal Government Shutdown: https://bit.ly/3JygZJN

DHS has restarted issuing full November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit payments, ending the disruption created by the federal government shutdown and the Trump Administration’s unwillingness to use United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) contingency and other available funding to continue food assistance through the shutdown.

Benefits are going out and should be paid to all SNAP recipients by the end of the week.

“I again want to extend my deepest gratitude to our food banks, food pantries, and every Pennsylvanian who showed the true meaning of community through this crisis. I am relieved we can finally get these critical benefits out, and I urge those who are able to continue to support to our charitable food network as they stabilize and restock to continue their essential work,” said DHS Secretary Val Arkoosh. “While the federal government has resumed operations, the effects of this shutdown will last.”
