Federal government to provide partial SNAP benefits amid uncertainty: $2M a week

Описание: Help is on the way for Americans relying on SNAP benefits, including nearly one million people in Washington state.

The Trump administration announced it will provide partial SNAP benefits for this month, following rulings from two judges requiring the federal government to keep the program running.

However, recipients will see only half the usual amount, and it's unclear when the payments will be made.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture plans to allocate $4.65 billion, covering just 50% of the normal benefits.
