Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are set to end at the end of the month. Here's what Minnesotans need to know.

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

The Department of Children, Youth, and Families says they're being forced to stop processing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Benefits (SNAP), or food stamp applications, starting Wednesday because of the government shutdown.

DCYF sent an email to Minnesota’s 87 counties and 11 tribal nations earlier this week, laying out a timeline that appears to taper off the distribution of benefits.

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.

The ongoing government shutdown means SNAP benefits for roughly 440,000 Minnesotans will be halted on Nov. 1. To help manage the gap, Gov. Tim Walz released $4 million in emergency funding for food shelves.
