Raskin, Delaney Discuss SNAP Benefits for Marylanders
U.S. Representatives Jamie Raskin and April McClain Delaney discussed the current state of SNAP benefits amidst ongoing uncertainty.
The federal government shutdown has reached day 35, but recent court rulings have ensured the program's continuation. Two judges ordered the Trump administration to use emergency funds to maintain SNAP benefits, which were initially set to expire on November 1.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced the release of $62 million to cover half of the November payments, with the federal administration covering the other half. As a result, Marylanders can expect to receive their full November SNAP benefits, albeit with a one-week delay.
Leaders will continue to monitor the situation for future months.
