SNAP benefits, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, won't be administered in November if the government shutdown continues into next month. During this time, the eligible members will receive notices of their amount of benefits, but won't have money distributed through EBT cards.

People who rely on the federal food assistance program might not receive their benefits for the month of November because of the ongoing government shutdown.

The increase in SNAP benefits for a single person is $6 per month for fiscal year 2026, which began in October. That means that person now receives $298 per month on their EBT card, where SNAP benefits are deposited. For two people, maximum benefits rose to $546; for three, $785; and for four, $994.
