Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro said that SNAP Benefits are going to those who have not received them but should have during the federal government shutdown.
At a news conference yesterday, Shapiro said that the state has secured funding to keep the SNAP program temporarily running in the Keystone state. Those payments started to be made Friday afternoon and loaded onto EBT cards. The Governor said this is consistent with a federal court’s ruling that requires the federal government to release 100% of SNAP funds for all recipients nationwide.
In his statement, Shapiro said “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.”
