Governor Josh Shapiro announced that his Administration is taking quick action to immediately issue November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to Pennsylvanians who have missed a payment, consistent with a federal court's ruling yesterday requiring the Trump Administration to release 100 percent of SNAP funds for all recipients nationwide. As of Friday afternoon, those payments are already being processed and loaded onto Pennsylvanians' electronic benefits transfer (EBT) cards so families across the Commonwealth can buy the food they need. So far, approximately $100 million worth of benefits have been sent to Pennsylvania's SNAP vendor - and benefits are actively being loaded onto EBT cards."No Pennsylvanian should go hungry because of federal inaction and Congressional Republicans' failure to pass a budget," said Governor Shapiro. "Despite the daily chaos and confusion from the Trump Administration around SNAP, my Administration is working quickly to get payments moving for nearly two million families, seniors, and children who rely on SNAP to help put food on the table. Our work is not done here: we will continue doing everything we can to protect access to food for Pennsylvanians."List of Speakers:Governor Josh Shapiro
