October 31, 2025 — Funding for the U.S. government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program is set to expire in November leaving millions without benefits, although a U.S. federal judge may order the Trump administration to utilize an emergency fund to make sure some money goes out next month.
“Right now, Congress has put money in an emergency fund for an emergency, and it’s hard for me to understand how this isn’t an emergency when there’s no money and a lot of people are needing their SNAP benefits,” U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said during an 30 October hearing, according to CNN.
