SNAP Benefits Update: Court Provides New Timeline For November Payments

Source: Newsweek

Published Nov 10, 2025 at 02:23 AM EST updated Nov 10, 2025 at 04:24 AM EST

A 48-hour deadline for the Trump administration to make full SNAP benefit payments for November kicked in late Sunday after the First Circuit appeals court denied its request for a stay on an earlier ruling.

The Supreme Court had issued a temporary administrative stay on a previous deadline for the Trump administration to pay the full SNAP benefits during the shutdown to allow time for the First Circuit to rule. Once the First Circuit ruled, the Supreme Court had set a 48-hour deadline for SNAP benefits to be paid. Newsweek has contacted the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and White House for comment via email outside of regular working hours.

Why It Matters

SNAP benefits are delivered monthly to low- and no-income Americans to help them pay for groceries. But November's benefits have been disrupted due to a lack of funding deal from Congress, which appropriates the federal funds for the program. On October 24, the USDA announced it would not fund November's SNAP benefits. A coalition of nonprofits, local governments, a union, and a food retailer sued to force the agency to release funds Congress had set aside for such emergencies.

The court ordered the government to issue full benefits by November 3 or partial payments by November 5. When the USDA missed that deadline, the court ordered a full payment of November benefits. Now, the government’s request to delay the order pending appeal has been denied.

That’s good news for the people depending on it. The delays this month had a lot of folks really stressed. Hopefully the payments actually go out within that 48-hour window this time.

Then if they are still ordered to fully fund SNAP then they are going to administratively drag their feet and claim "processing" is taking longer because of lack of personnel, needed review of what has already been done etc. I really don't see them just giving in and throwing up administrative delay is a classic government response when they don't want to do something.

where 45 demanded that states that provided their OWN money to tide people over, "give it back", his intent to defy the original court order prior to the SCOTUS administrative stay.

from my understanding, Snap will still be fully restored until 9/30/2026, but most of the compromises in the bill will hence stop, shutdown begins again, until the next stopgap bill.

As to the ACA subsides extension showdown will be voted on in the senate before the end of the year. We shall see.

so those other 9 appropriations bills have to be done - either singly, as "Minbus" bills or as one big "Omnibus" bill.

It's possible they could try to jam the ACA subsidies onto the yet-to-be-done HHS appropriations bill that would be on that extended C.R.
