US EditionNew York Gov. Kathy Hochul Authorizes $30 Million in Emergency Funding Ahead of SNAP Cuts
New York allocates $30 million to provide over 16 million meals amid federal SNAP benefit pause caused by ongoing government shutdown.
- Earlier this month, Gov. Kathy Hochul is fast-tracking $30 million in state funds to support over 16 million meals as SNAP benefits pause, responding to the federal shutdown.
- Because the government ordered states to withhold November benefits, the federal shutdown starting Nov. 1 could cut SNAP access for low-income, elderly, and disabled recipients.
- Nearly three million New Yorkers who receive SNAP could lose benefits, including 121,536 residents in Congressional District 11, affecting families, children and seniors who rely on SNAP.
- Hochul said she is taking action to mitigate harm, committing to soften the blow while Republicans and Democrats blame each other and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis urged her Friday to press Senators Schumer and Gillibrand to end the shutdown.
- With no compromise, political stances leave SNAP funding unresolved as Republicans proposed a stopgap measure through Nov. 21, dismissing Democrats' health care concerns including Medicaid cuts and ACA tax credits as costing more than $1 trillion.
