In a matter of hours, more than 900,000 people in Washington will lose their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits as the government shutdown continues into its 31st day.

SNAP has traditionally been entirely federally funded, but is administered by states. That means the shutdown's impact on SNAP and when benefits will start to become unavailable will vary by state. Some states have initiated their own contingency plans, using their own funding in most cases, to keep their SNAPs running.

The pain of the shutdown is being felt by millions of other Americans as the federal government enters Day 32 of a funding squabble.

SNAP benefits are set to pause Nov. 1 impacting over one million people in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. WASHINGTON — With the Senate adjourned until Monday, the government shutdown is likely to last through the weekend, which means Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits will pause for millions of Americans Saturday, Nov. 1.

Trump, back from a weeklong trip in Asia, will have to confront how to handle deepening impacts from the shutdown on Americans.

Federal judges have ordered the Trump administration to deploy emergency funds, but food assistance money still faces delays.

Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate. The filibuster requires most legislation to get 60 votes, which has allowed Democrats to block GOP legislation to reopen the government. Democrats are demanding any government funding bill include an extension of health care subsidies.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is set to lapse tomorrow, Nov. 1, as the prolonged U.S. government shutdown puts millions of Americans at risk of missing their vital food stamp benefits.

As the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) faces a November 1 cutoff amid the ongoing government shutdown, leaders in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia are stepping up to help low-income families who rely on the aid to put food on the table.
