The USDA ordered states to “undo” steps taken to issue full food stamp benefits after the Supreme Court temporarily paused a lower court order requiring the Trump administration to fully fund the program.
“To the extent States sent full [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program] payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized,” the agency wrote in a memo Sunday. “Accordingly, states must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025.”
