General Discussion

This announcement, as stated in your own link, dated back to November 5th--
and was talking about what would happen if the shutdown were NOT ended---
and going from 50% to 65% of normal benefits is STILL not a 'raise'!
Going from 100% to 110%, THAT would be 'a raise'--

From your link:
"SNAP recipients will receive at most 65% of benefits in November, rather than 50%, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced in a guidance to states Nov. 5."


I am 'keeping up' because I am a SNAP beneficiary. I received the full amount
of expected benefits for November (100%), from the state of Michigan,
just one day later than normal....
I am not sure whether their action was based upon the court order
that the Trump admin pay 100% of the benefits to the states,
or upon news that the government shutdown would be ended---
but I received the same expected amount of benefits for November,
just on the 10th instead of the 9th...
