Recipients of SNAP benefits, won't get payments on Nov. 1 amid the government shutdown. Here's where to look for resources and how Minnesota react.

Gov. Walz announced state funding Monday to help Minnesotans who receive monthly Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

Hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans receive SNAP benefits. The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) commissioner explains how the SNAP lapse is affecting Minnesotans, and what the state is doing to help those affected.

The Department of Agriculture says no food stamp benefits are being issued for November as of Saturday. About 440,000 Minnesotans rely on SNAP each month. The average monthly benefit is $187. Minnesota was to receive $73 million in federal funds in November, but with the shutdown now over a month, that’s not happening.

Minnesota is among at least 22 states that have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture, claiming the agency is unlawfully suspending the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

The top-ranked Badgers women's hockey team couldn't sustain a fast start and lost, 5-1, to No. 3 Minnesota Oct. 31 at LaBahn Arena.

Ellison told the committee he was confident of victory in court, but couldn’t say for sure there wouldn’t be a delay in the November benefits or a reduced amount for recipients.

If the continuing resolution or any other funding measures are not passed, funding for SNAP — Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps as it's commonly called — will run out on Nov. 1.
