SNAP benefits won't be issued in November

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. Multiple states have issued alerts to SNAP recipients, warning that they may not receive November benefits if the

government shutdown continues.

As the federal government shutdown stretched into late October 2025, social media users warned of potential disruptions to the federal government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which provides food benefits to millions of low-income Americans.

On average, SNAP provides $188 per month, or about $6 per day, in benefits to help seniors, people with disabilities and families purchase household food staples.

One TikTok user (archived) claimed SNAP benefits, often referred to as "food stamps," would not be issued in November 2025 due to the ongoing shutdown, citing notifications from the federal government and individual states. A similar claim circulated on Instagram (archived), where a user alleged that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration decided not to issue food stamps in November.

Warnings like these prompted multiple Snopes readers to search our website for information about November SNAP benefits.
