Food stamps, or SNAP benefits, will expire for Minnesotans on Nov. 1, unless a resolution to the current federal government shutdown is reached.

Saint Paul

Over 400,000 Minnesotans were at risk of losing SNAP food benefits as a result of an ongoing government shutdown. Two federal judges have ruled that the Trump administration must use billions in reserve funds to continue the SNAP program, marking a significant development for Minnesota, which was among the states that sued over the issue.

Despite the court orders, there are concerns that some recipients may receive reduced or delayed benefits. Local food assistance organizations have reported increased demand and warn of possible shortages if the shutdown continues. WIC benefits for baby formula are not currently impacted, with sufficient funding expected through the end of the following month.

SNAP benefits lapse on Nov. 1 for Minnesotans

Make no mistake, this is going to hurt Minnesotans. Everything is more expensive these days, especially food. Well, in less than 12 hours, food benefits for more than 400,000 Minnesotans will stop. That's unless the government shutdown ends by then, but that's not likely. Both parties, they continue to play politics, blaming each other for what's happening. Our Mike Manzoni is following the latest for us tonight. He's in our newsroom, and Mike, we've got two federal judges that issued some major rulings on SNAP benefits this afternoon. Lay it out for us, if you would. Tim, this is a loss for the Trump administration and a big win for Minnesota, one of the states that sued over this. The judges ordered the administration to use billions of dollars in reserve funds to keep the SNAP program running, but these rulings don't fix everything. There are still some questions. One judge acknowledged that some people might end up getting less money and pointed out that benefits could be delayed. The food group in New Hope says it's racing to get food to everyone who needs it, but it fears it may run out if the shutdown drags on. And Catholic Charities Twin Cities in St. Paul says it's seen an uptick in demand in recent days at its kitchen there. It says if something doesn't change soon, it may have to start turning people away. St. Paul educators spoke this morning about the impact a lapse in food benefits will have on children. Hunger affects more than the body. It affects focus, attendance, behavior, and emotional well-being in the classroom. Just like kids can't do homework without a home, they can't be expected to show up to learn without food to eat on nights and weekends. And again, two federal judges today saying the Trump administration must use emergency funds to pay for SNAP benefits during the shutdown. It's unclear whether the administration will appeal those rulings, though that's certainly a possibility. In the newsroom, Mike Benzoni, Fox 9. Before you go here, quick question, because we're getting a lot of questions about WIC benefits for baby formula. Some people are asking if the shutdown will actually impact that program. What do you know? Well, we know that WIC is not impacted, at least not for now. The state says it has enough money to keep that program running through the end of next month if the shutdown were to continue through November, Tim. All right, some good news there. Thanks, Mike.
