Trump Administration to Partially Fund SNAP
The Trump administration announced that it will partially fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) after judges' rulings required its continuation.
The Department of Agriculture had planned to freeze payments to SNAP starting November 1 due to the shutdown, but will now continue funding the program, which serves about 1 in 8 Americans.
The program is a major piece of the nation's social safety net.
