For 35 days, most federal workers have gone without pay as money dries up across critical agencies. Even if the shutdown ends, it's unlikely funding would return in time for Hoosiers to receive full SNAP benefits by Nov.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said he received confirmation from the federal government that the SNAP payment process would begin Nov. 6.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said SNAP benefits will only resume in full when Democrats end the government shutdown, which has entered its second month.

SNAP benefits are expected to resume after congressional lawmakers pass a bill funding the federal government, which will end the current shutdown. Currently, Republican and Democratic lawmakers are at a stalemate, having failed to advance any proposed legislation to reopen the government.

As the government shutdown drags on, millions of federal employees have missed paychecks, and now, SNAP benefits are frozen for countless families.

The halt in SNAP funding has impacted a critical lifeline for food for thousands of homeless people on the streets, according to one agency who is working to fill the gap.

On Saturday, some 42 million low-income Americans, including 16 million children, lost access to benefits through the SNAP program as the government shutdown continues.
