The Trump administration has announced it will not use emergency funds to cover a $9 billion shortfall in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), potentially leaving nearly 42 million Americans without food assistance starting November 1.
A memo from the USDA confirms the agency will not tap into contingency reserves or reallocate funds from other nutrition programs. Despite acknowledging the deficit, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins issued a notice without offering a resolution.
This decision could disrupt the nation’s largest anti-hunger program unless Congress intervenes.
