Snap benefits are being threatened to not be renewed in November

@Notmesam What races? The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness, the Belmont stakes. Them races.

@idontcareok I think you’re watching too much brain rot on social media. There are far more white ppl on these benefits than other races. Facts are facts. 🤷🏽‍♀

@Zonuss Every state has snap benefits.

@Notmesam No. Zonuss is right. It's only certain states.

Although SNAP is federally funded, the variation among states comes down to: how far ahead the state had funding, when benefits are scheduled, and how the state responded to the USDA’s guidance. In a shutdown scenario:

If a state had already secured the upcoming month’s funds and scheduled issuance, it may continue for a bit.

If a state relies on fresh federal funding that’s now frozen by the shutdown, it may be forced to pause sooner.

The difference is one of timing and administrative mechanics, not a difference in the legal right to benefits.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays Thank you..👍

@NativePortlander1970 Why is that?

@Notmesam He's the senate minority leader, he's the one that held up the budget bill that would have kept the government open.

@NativePortlander1970 What budget?
