NonilexTrump told #states on Saturday to “immediately undo” any actions to provide full #FoodStamp benefits to #LowIncome families, threatening financial penalties if they do not comply. The late-night guidance from the #USDA adds to the uncertainty surrounding the nation’s largest anti-#hunger program during the govt #shutdown. Officials in several states said they remained unsure on Sunday how the directive would affect the roughly one in eight Americans who rely on #SNAP.
Update
#Trump admin CANNOT withhold full #funding for #food #aid, US appeals court rules
A federal appeals court late on Sunday allowed a judge's order to stand that directs Trump's admin to FULLY fund this month's #SNAP benefits for 42 million #LowIncome Americans during the ongoing US government shutdown.

The Boston-based 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals declined to halt Thursday's decision by a RI judge requiring the #USDA to spend $4 billion set aside for other purposes to ensure Americans receive full #SNAP benefits.
The ruling by the 1st Circuit will have no immediate impact because on Friday #SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson put a TEMPORARY hold on the lower court order by US Dist Judge John McConnell. Her temporary hold remains in place for 48hrs after the 1st Circuit decision.
TC Won't Give In To LiesMaybe Justice Jackson knew what she was doing when she sent the SNAP case back to the appeals court on Friday
So‑Called Vaughn@Nonilex Thank for the quick follow-up; was wondering how to reconcile these two rulings.
