The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

As the government shutdown enters its second month, over 40 million people are now struggling to feed themselves and their families after SNAP food assistance was cut off over the weekend.

The medical expenses dealing with my multiple disabilities while living in a tent continue to hamper our efforts at relocating to the apartment I've been offered in California.

Anything helps get us and all the stuff we need to live in a better situation! 🙏⚒️💕💸🏳‍⚧♿💜

Just so we’re clear…

SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s guaranteed.

Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.

Well, it's official...my SNAP should have reloaded 2-5 hours ago, but I looked anyway, and there's a big fat zero. I had given up on my mutual aid because it was taking 2 weeks to get half of what I needed and I got exhausted 🤷‍♀️

In late 80s I was social worker in Houston working in Verification unit for food stamps. Made unannounced home visits to verify applicants were qualified &had reported all income etc. Unit was dismantled because cost more to run than were recovering. Very little fraud.So many myths/lies about SNAP
