The 42 million Americans who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will go without their benefits come Nov. 1 because of the ongoing government shutdown, according to a new message from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

SNAP, also known as food stamps, is a federal program that provides low-income families monthly benefits to afford healthy food.

In recent weeks, the USDA – which oversees the program – warned that SNAP funds for November could be in jeopardy if the shutdown continues. But in a prominent new message on its website as of Oct. 27, USDA said: "Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 1." bit.ly/3Jo4Y9B
