LANSING, Mich. — Neighbors who rely on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits could see partial payments begin as soon as Saturday.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) announced that it will reduce the SNAP benefit payments by approximately 50% for November.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) says they are told the reduction is due to the limited availability of funds amid the federal government shutdown.
MDHHS says neighbors who normally receive their benefits on the third, fifth, or seventh of the month will receive their partial SNAP payment on Saturday.
Everyone else will receive partial benefits on their normally scheduled date.
