November SNAP benefits will reportedly be 65 percent of their usual rate, rather than the 50 percent previously estimated by the Trump administration, according to a Department of Agriculture official.
On Monday, the Trump administration told a federal judge that it would reportedly use more $4 billion from its contingency funds to provide SNAP recipients about half of what they typically would receive. However, as of Wednesday, that figure was revised to 65 percent in a filing by the Agriculture Department's deputy undersecretay for food, nutrition and consumer services Patrick Penn.
