Episode notes
SNAP Stay Became Moot After Reopening
- The Supreme Court extended a pause on a district court order that would have forced full November SNAP payments during the shutdown.
- The issue became moot after the government reopened, meaning states will receive full SNAP funding now that funds are available.
Temporary Funding Plus Three Full-Year Bills
- The funding package combined a short-term continuing resolution with three full-year appropriations bills covering specific departments.
- The continuing resolution funds the government only through January 30, 2026, risking another shutdown if Congress fails to finish the rest.
SNAP Fully Funded For Fiscal Year 2026
- The agriculture appropriations bill fully funds SNAP and child nutrition for fiscal year 2026.
- This appropriations funding lasts the entire fiscal year even if a future continuing resolution fails.
