🍒 Find Out When SNAP Benefits Will Be Paid (AARP Article/Advocacy)

FROM THE ARTICLE.

Differences from state to state mean recipients of food aid face an uneven return to normal.

By Molly Snow, AARP. Published November 14, 2025.

The government shutdown is over after more than 40 days, and older adults who receive federal food aid should start seeing benefits paid soon.

But depending on where they live, some people may still have to wait.

In guidance issued on Nov. 13, federal officials directed states to pay full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. November benefits have been in limbo since the shutdown began on Oct. 1, leaving millions of low-income households without critical food assistance. More than 11 million adults age 50 and older rely on SNAP.

"State agencies must take immediate steps to ensure households receive their full November allotments promptly,” the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees SNAP, said in a memo. “The reduction in maximum allotments for November is no longer in effect."
