“USDA, which oversees the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), has just issued an order to SNAP agency directors calling for their respective States to implement an emergency contingency program because of government funding issues. In a letter obtained by the Crossroads Urban Center food pantry, the USDA is directing state agencies to, ‘delay their November issuance files and delay transmission to State Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) vendors until further notice.’ Should Congress fail to increase the debt ceiling this week, come November there will literally be millions of people in the United States who will receive exactly zero dollars on their EBT cards.”
