"Catch up quick: The USDA on Monday said it would partially fund November SNAP benefits after two federal judges ordered the payments to be released, adding that the rollout could "take anywhere from a few weeks to up to several months." Estimates from the USDA on Thursday suggested some recipients would receive about 65% of their usual November benefits, while others may get less - revising earlier estimates that officials acknowledged were filled with errors."
"U.S. District Judge Court Judge John McConnell Jr. sharply criticized the administration Thursday for delaying the release of funds and ordered the USDA to pay November benefits in full by Friday. The White House referred Axios' comment to the Office of Management and Budget. Friday's decision leaves in place the Thursday ruling from McConnell, though it doesn't rule out potentially granting a stay on benefits later on since the legal battle isn't over yet."
