Guam Senators Approve $13.1M for November SNAP and WIC Benefits
Senators of the 38th Guam Legislature voted to allocate $13.1 million in excess revenue to the Department of Public Health and Social Services.
This funding will be used to pay for November food benefits for thousands of Guam residents, specifically for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program.
The decision was made during a special session called by Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero on October 24, 2025, to address funding shortfalls for food benefits due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.
The funding comes from unobligated excess revenues collected by the government of Guam in fiscal year 2025.
