DATE:
November 8, 2025
SUBJECT: Updated Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
November Benefit Issuance
TO:
Regional Directors
SNAP Division
All Regions
SNAP State Agency Directors
All State Agencies
This memorandum is a follow up to the guidance shared on October 10, October 24, November 4, November 5, and November 7, 2025, regarding Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November 2025.
The U.S. Supreme Court granted the U.S. Department of Agriculture an administrative stay of the orders issued by the District Court of Rhode Island in Rhode Island State Council of Churches, et al. v. Rollins, 25-cv-569. Pending any explicit direction to the contrary from Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), States must not transmit full benefit issuance files to EBT processors. Instead, States must continue to process and load the partial issuance files that reflect the 35 percent reduction of maximum allotments detailed in the November 5 guidance.
To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025. Please advise the appropriate FNS Regional Office representative of steps taken to correct any actions taken that do not comply with this memorandum.
Per 7 CFR 271.7(h), failure to comply with this memorandum may result in USDA taking various actions, including cancellation of the Federal share of State administrative costs and holding States liable for any overissuances that result from the noncompliance.

ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate β€” and paid cash bonuses for performance.

β€œUnder the plan, bounty hunters may receive β€œmonetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets β€” and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.”

Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.
