The Trump Administration has ordered US states that began issuing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November to immediately 'undo' the steps taken to issue full payouts.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) stated in a Saturday guidance that the November payments were unauthorised, and non-compliance could lead to financial penalties, including the cancellation of the federal share of state administrative costs and holding states accountable for any overissuances.
