Nearly 42 million Americans will have less money in their food budget in November if the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, is allowed to run out of funds.
President Donald Trump promised on Oct. 29 to find additional funding for the program amid the month-long government shutdown. A federal judge is also considering whether to order the release of emergency funds to supply the program. But some states have already said November benefits would be delayed if the funding problem was not resolved by Oct. 23.
