"States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025,"
"Failure to comply with this memorandum may result in USDA taking various actions, including cancellation of the Federal share of State administrative costs and holding States liable for any overissuances that result from the noncompliance,"
"The Department of Agriculture threatened to impose financial penalties on states that do not "comply" quickly with their new orders."
A federal directive ordered states to immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025. The directive warned that failure to comply could prompt cancellation of the federal share of state administrative costs and could make states liable for any resulting overissuances. The Department of Agriculture characterized noncompliance as grounds for various actions, including financial penalties. The Supreme Court granted an administrative stay allowing the USDA to pause SNAP benefit distributions while litigation continues. Several states, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, had been preparing to release full SNAP benefits to residents.
