U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Thursday that full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits would be restored by Monday, The Hill reports. “We immediately last night began moving out, making sure that the program continues unabated starting once the government reopened, and hopefully by the end of this week most will receive it, at the very latest on Monday,” Rollins said during an appearance. Two lower courts had directed the Trump administration to reinstate partial benefits, while one judge ordered full benefits to be paid for the month of November, NPR reports. The administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block that ruling, which it did. On Wednesday, lawmakers advanced a stopgap bill to fund much of the government through Jan. 30, 2026, ending the longest shutdown in U.S. history.
