About 42 million Americans may lose SNAP (food stamp) benefits in November due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.
The USDA says funds will run out in two weeks, with a $2 billion shortfall.
The Trump administration hasn’t committed to covering the gap, unlike with the WIC program, which got emergency funding.
Blame is being exchanged between Republicans and Democrats, while states have been told to pause November payments.
SNAP supports 1 in 8 Americans and provides an average of $188 per person monthly.
