\n

A federal judge on Friday ordered the\u00a0<\/strong>Trump administration<\/u><\/a>\u00a0to continue to fund Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during the ongoing government shutdown, delivering near-term relief to roughly 42 million Americans who received the aid just hours before the funding was slated to dry up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The emergency order from U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said the Trump administration must resume SNAP benefits, which were slated to expire Nov. 1, ruling that plaintiffs who filed the lawsuit are likely to succeed on their claims that the suspension of the benefits is unlawful. She ordered the government to provide the court no later than Monday, Nov. 3, with additional details on how it plans to keep the program funded, and whether the appropriated benefits must be distributed in full or in part.<\/p>\n

Moments later, a separate federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to continue paying for food stamps during the shutdown.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge John McConnell said the administration must tap its emergency funds to pay for the SNAP benefits “as soon as possible” next month. He issued the emergency order from the bench Friday during an emergency court hearing in Providence.<\/p>\n

STATES SUE TRUMP ADMIN OVER BILLIONS IN LOOMING CUTS TO SNAP, FOOD STAMPS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Talwani heard arguments Thursday from the Trump administration and from a coalition of 25 Democratic governors and state attorneys general, who sued the U.S. Department of Agriculture over its refusal to keep SNAP benefits funded during the ongoing government shutdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The benefits were slated to expire Nov. 1, marking the first time in 60 years that the program lapsed because of a government shutdown.<\/p>\n

Talwani seemed sympathetic to the states\u2019 arguments on Thursday. “It\u2019s hard for me to understand how this isn\u2019t an emergency when there\u2019s no money and a lot of people need their SNAP benefits,” she said in court, vowing to rule as soon as possible on the matter.<\/p>\n

She also agreed with the argument that the cuts to SNAP would be “devastating.”<\/p>\n

State leaders said in the lawsuit that suspending the aid would disproportionately harm some tens of millions of vulnerable and low-income Americans in their states. “Because of USDA\u2019s actions, SNAP benefits will be delayed for the first time since the program\u2019s inception,” they said in the lawsuit, filed Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“Worse still, USDA suspended SNAP benefits even though, on information and belief, it has funds available to it that are sufficient to fund all, or at least a substantial portion, of November SNAP benefits,” they added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u00a0lawsuit<\/u> <\/a>was filed several days after the Trump administration said last week that it would not use the Agriculture Department’s roughly $5 billion contingency fund to cover the food stamp benefits provided by SNAP for the month of November.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>SENATE GOP DIVIDED AS MILLIONS RISK LOSING FOOD AID IN SHUTDOWN STANDOFF<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Instead, officials said, the agency is planning to keep it on hand to respond to natural disasters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the near-term, the states asked Talwani to\u00a0order the Trump administration<\/u><\/a> to release the USDA contingency funds to help ensure there is not a lapse in SNAP program benefits beginning Nov. 1.<\/p>\n

“Shutting off SNAP benefits will cause deterioration of public health and well-being,” they said in the lawsuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The USDA, for its part, had not yet shared details on the policy decision or decision not to funnel the contingency funds to SNAP beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

A note on its website stated simply that, “[T]he well has run dry.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0“At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01,” the agency said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Justice Department has not yet said whether it will appeal either of the rulings to the First Circuit Court of Appeals.<\/p>\n
