Kathy Hochul has decided to fund full SNAP benefits for NYS recipients beginning this Sunday.



ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) — Governor Kathy Hochul has ordered state agencies to issue full federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November, she announced on Friday.
“After weeks of the Trump administration putting millions of New Yorkers through chaos and confusion, following guidance from USDA, I’ve directed state agencies to issue full federal SNAP benefits for November,” said Hochul in a statement. “We expect the first New Yorkers to begin having access to their benefits starting Sunday.”

This comes as the Trump administration asked a federal appeals court on Friday to block a judge’s order that it needs to distribute November’s full monthly SNAP benefits amid the government shutdown.
The government shutdown is now in its 38th day, which is the longest shutdown in U.S. history. The shutdown leaves federal employees without pay until the government is fully funded.
