SNAP has traditionally been entirely federally funded, but is administered by states. That means the shutdown's impact on SNAP and when benefits will start to dry up will vary state by state.

So about those government contracts for immigration, you would think some of those states that raked in a lot of money, could perhaps use that ill-gotten money to at least benefit the residents of their states.

Funny that Florida got more than half a billion dollars from the government the day before the shutdown, but they just can't find it within their hearts or their budget to use any of that money to feed families relying on food stamps in their state. Wonder where it's going instead?
