Judge Orders Trump Admin To Fully Fund SNAP Benefits In November

A federal judge in Rhode Island has ordered the Trump administration to find the money to fully fund SNAP benefits for November. The ruling by U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell Jr. on Thursday was in response to a challenge from cities and nonprofits complaining that the administration was only offering to cover 65% of the maximum benefit. The government said it will rely on $4.65 billion in emergency funding. The Trump administration said last month that it would not pay benefits at all for November because of the federal shutdown.
