Trump administration tells states to 'undo' full SNAP benefits

Trump administration tells states to ‘undo’ full SNAP benefits

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-administration-tells-states-undo-155333628.html

The Trump administration is telling states not to pay full November food stamp benefits, revising its previous guidance after winning a temporary victory at the Supreme Court on Friday.

USDA’s latest memo, sent Saturday to state directors of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, instructed states to deliver just 65 percent of benefits during the government shutdown and required those who already sent full payments to claw back that money.

“To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025,” the memo notes.

The department threatened to take various actions if states don’t comply, including cancelling federal funds that go toward administrative costs for the program or holding states liable for “overissuances.”

With the understanding that they'll probably never be reimbursed. So go fuck yourself.

That also blows up the narrative that "it's the Dems fault." Actively telling the states to starve people or else. What idiots. Mean and nasty idiots.
