0:19Now PlayingTwo federal judges ruled the Trump administration’s decision to suspend food-aid benefits for tens of millions of Americans during the government shutdown is likely unlawful and that US officials must use contingency funding to at least partially keep the program operational.
US District Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island on Friday announced in court that he would order the US Department of Agriculture to distribute a pool of contingency money “as soon as possible” for November benefits. He also urged the administration to explore tapping other sources of federal dollars to ensure the program is fully funded.
About 42 million Americans could see their food assistance cut off within days as the US government shutdown stretches toward its second month, threatening to deepen economic pain and test Washington’s resolve in one of the longest funding lapses in US history.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — better known as SNAP or food stamps — will run out of federal money Saturday if Congress doesn’t act. Food banks are bracing for surging demand and states are invoking emergency measures as lawmakers trade blame and debate whether to approve a narrow funding bill or reopen the entire government.
