Balance zero: SNAP recipients go without food after benefits don’t arrive
November payments have been significantly delayed, forcing families to go hungry. A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to distribute benefits in full by Friday.
Gia Haley is trying to survive on water and coffee.
Haley, 41, said she has been out of groceries since Oct. 29, and the monthly $298 she receives in food assistance did not arrive as it ordinarily would have on Wednesday.
Haley is one of more than 40 million people across the country who count on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, a federal benefit that dates back to the late 1930s. But disruptions to SNAP, also known as food stamps, during what has become the longest government shutdown in American history have left recipients facing imminent hunger, unable to restock their pantries or refrigerators.
