The media reported on the work of the US authorities on the payment of food stamps against the background of the shutdown

The US Department of Agriculture, at the request of the administration of US President Donald Trump, is urgently working to implement the court's order on the payment of full November benefits for food stamps issued under the SNAP program. This was reported by the Politico newspaper on November 7.

"The US Department of Agriculture <...> "will complete the necessary processes later today" to provide funds for the Additional Food Assistance Program," the material says.

Funds for this will be partially allocated from the country's emergency fund. This resolution on assistance to almost 42 million Americans has been sent to all states.

On November 2, the Associated Press (AP) reported on queues observed at American food distribution points. Priest John Udo-Okon called this social situation "more than a crisis" and pointed to the desperation of his compatriots, some of whom, as it was emphasized, did not get enough food.
