The latest on which states have distributed SNAP benefits, and the challenges that are a result of what has been a chaotic legal process.

Featuring out Carolyn Vega to comment at @apnews.com: apnews.com/article/gove...
A map of states showing which have distributed SNAP benefits and which have not. “Carolyn Vega, a policy analyst at the advocacy group Share Our Strength, also said there could be some technical challenges for states that have issued partial benefits to send out the remaining amount.”

We're monitoring this -- this post comes at a time when USDA has already directed states to move forward with partial SNAP payments for November.

Our take forever and always: feed the kids.

Today marks the first time in the history of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that grocery benefits are not going out to the millions of Americans who use them to buy food.

Just yesterday, @repjohnnyo.bsky.social joined us for an event to kick off summer meals in Baltimore County Public Library, but today the House of Representatives is threatening a reconciliation bill that endangers the strides communities have made to fight childhood hunger. Call your reps today!

More and more people are talking about this. There’s still time to change course. Call your senators at (202) 224-3121.
[BIG TEXT] Q: It’s SUNDAY – do you know where your senators are? [SMALL TEXT] A: They are in DC wildly charging towards a vote on an unfinished budget reconciliation bill that includes nearly $200 billion in cuts to SNAP. This unprecedented cut would lead to more hungry kids and families. Text: “As the Senate considers amendments on the floor before sending this bill back to the House, there is still time to make smart investments that will actually improve program integrity, ensure kids are fed and support families so they can contribute to stronger communities for all Americans.” –George Kelemen,  Senior Vice President for Partnerships, Campaigns, and Advocacy, Share Our Strength

While the Senate's rolled out their bill text, know that the SNAP cuts in the House reconciliation bill are so unpopular that somehow even the DOGE Ai bot over on the other platform appears to be focusing on the harm it will cause to people
Text: The One Big Beautiful Bill’s SNAP cuts aren’t fiscal responsibility—they’re a $285 billion gut punch to vulnerable Americans while funneling $56 billion to corporate agribusiness. Section 10006 forces states to foot 25% of SNAP admin costs, guaranteeing red states will slash benefits first. Meanwhile, Title 2001(b)(1) inflates crop insurance subsidies for mega-farms but leaves 73% of actual farmers without coverage. Real reform would cut pharma middlemen, not punish working families. This bill’s a raw deal wrapped in spin.

FYI, programs like SNAP actually do work, especially when Congress invests in them.

This morning, the House of Representatives voted to advance its budget reconciliation bill, which includes roughly $300 billion in cuts to SNAP. The Senate will now take this bill under consideration. “A vote for this bill was a vote to increase childhood hunger. The majority in the House is turning their backs on families in need, putting families, including the 14 million kids who receive grocery benefits through SNAP, at greater risk of not having enough nutritious food to eat if this bill becomes law. “This proposal reflects the largest and most extreme cuts to SNAP in history, increasing red tape and bureaucracy for working families, cutting the value of future benefits and trying to sneak in billions of dollars in cuts by forcing an unprecedented and impossible cost burden onto states. These cuts will do nothing to improve the lives of Americans and will make it even harder for those who do receive benefits to afford enough food to feed their families. “We will continue to work with the Senate to reject the harmful cuts to SNAP in the House bill, and return to bipartisan negotiations that will actually strengthen and improve nutrition security for kids and families.”

This reconciliation proposal moving through the legislative process would cut billions of dollars from SNAP, one of our nation’s most powerful tools to end hunger.

Last night, the Republican leadership of the House Agriculture Committee released its portion of the budget reconciliation bill. The proposal is designed to reach $230 billion in cuts to USDA programs, like SNAP.

1 in 4 children in the United States has at least one immigrant parent. Cutting safety net resources like Medicaid and SNAP means hurting millions of immigrant children and families across the country. #NotOnMyWatch

Resources like Medicaid, SNAP, and more help immigrant families and other hardworking families access the food, healthcare, and other support they need. Cuts to safety net resources mean cutting a lifeline for real families. #NotOnMyWatch

The $230 billion cut to SNAP that Congress is considering isn't just bad policy that would increase hunger for families counting on these benefits to put food on the table, it's also wildly unpopular on both sides of the aisle:
