The approximately 42 million Americans who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will get partial payments this month, the Trump Administration announced, after courts ruled the Administration could not halt the benefits as the government shutdown approaches its sixth week like it had intended.

The pause in SNAP benefits means there are families in Arizona who are now in need of help with food. Here's more about SNAP, and where people can get help or help others affected.

Partial SNAP payments are set to be distributed after the shutdown disrupted operations. Here's what to know about timing.

Partial benefits will be issued for nearly 1.4 million North Carolinians relying on the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the state Health Department says. The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave guidance on Tuesday.

Trump prompted further concern when he threatened to withhold SNAP benefits until the end of the government shutdown.

The megabill further shuttered the SNAP-Ed, a federally funded grant program that "helps people make their SNAP dollars stretch, teaches them how to cook healthy meals, and lead physically active lifestyles," according to the program's website. Funding for SNAP-Ed ended Oct. 1.

A woman in New York State who voted for President Donald Trump says she regrets her vote after the federal government shutdown disrupted Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Betty Szretter, 63, is a caregiver for her daughter who relies on SNAP.

According to the Louisiana Department of Health, after the United States Department of Agriculture guidance was released Tuesday, the agency suspended the state-funded program so the health department could pay federal benefits for the entire state, not just the most-needy groups identified through the solution created by state leaders last week.

Nearly 5 million food stamp recipients will not receive any benefits in November under the plan the Trump administration issued Tuesday to comply with a court order, according to a new analysis.

Some 42 million recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits will have to wait for them to be restored after losing them on Saturday.
