Nov. 9, 2025, 2:55 PM ESTBy Alexandra MarquezThe U.S. Department of Agriculture said that states that issued full November SNAP benefits to recipients after a lower court decision allowed them to should “immediately undo” the distributions and that failure to comply could result in cancellation of future disbursement of federal funds. “To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025,” Patrick A. Penn, the Deputy Under Secretary Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services, wrote on Saturday regarding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.“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,” he wrote.The latest memo was a reversal of earlier guidance the USDA had issued before the Supreme Court again paused the distribution of full SNAP benefits on Friday, sending the case back to the appeals court.The Friday memo said that the relevant agencies in the Trump administration would “complete the processes necessary to make funds available to support your subsequent transmittal of full issuance files to your EBT processor.”Saturday’s memo comes amid a fast-moving legal battle over whether the federal government should continue to disburse SNAP benefits — also known as food stamps — to over 40 million Americans who usually receive them during the ongoing federal government shutdown.SNAP benefits were funded for October, the first month of the shutdown, but at the end of the month, the USDA posted a message on its website informing Americans that SNAP benefits wouldn’t be dispersed in November, telling them that “the well has run dry” and blaming Democrats for the lapse.Two separate lawsuits were filed in Rhode Island and Massachusetts ahead of Nov. 1 seeking to force the federal government to release the funds.In response to one of the lawsuits, the USDA allowed SNAP benefits to be partially released. Then, last week, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits in full for November. States began to disburse the funds as quickly as possible last week. But on Friday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to temporarily halt SNAP payments for November.The USDA guidance on Saturday did not explain to states how they should claw back funding that may have already gone out to SNAP recipients.On Sunday, Gov. Maura Healey, D-Mass., said that SNAP recipients in her state should continue to spend their funds and threatened to sue the Trump administration.”If President Trump wants to penalize states for preventing Americans from going hungry, we will see him in court. Massachusetts residents with funds on their cards should continue to spend it on food. These funds were processed in accordance with guidance we received from the Trump Administration and a lower court order, and they were processed before the Supreme Court order on Friday night,” Healey said in a statement.Gov. Tony Evers, D-Wis., in response to the USDA’s request to undo SNAP disbursements, simply said in a statement, “No.”“Our administration is actively in court fighting against the Trump Administration’s efforts to yank food assistance away from Wisconsin’s kids, families, and seniors, and we are eager for the court to resolve this issue,” he added.Alexandra MarquezAlexandra Marquez is a politics reporter for NBC News.Gary Grumbach contributed.

Sept. 28, 2025, 10:08 AM EDTBy Sahil KapurWASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday that Congress can prevent a government shutdown when money expires this week, but only if Republicans engage in a “serious negotiation.”In an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Schumer told moderator Kristen Welker that he called Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., on Friday to encourage a meeting, which the White House accepted on Saturday evening.Schumer said reaching a deal “depends on the Republicans.”“We need the meeting. It’s a first step, but only a first step. We need a serious negotiation,” Schumer said. “Now, if the president at this meeting is going to rant and just yell at Democrats and talk about all his alleged grievances and say this, that and the other thing, we won’t get anything done.”“But my hope is it’ll be a serious negotiation,” he said, adding that he avoided shutdowns as majority leader by negotiating with Republicans. “You don’t do this by one party putting together a completely partisan bill and saying take it or leave it.”He said Trump’s decision to accept the meeting shows that Republicans “feel the heat.”“The president at first said no,” he added. “Remember, he first said yes for a meeting, then he said no for a meeting. He went on a rant against Democrats. But I think they felt the heat and they now want to sit down. But the fundamental question hasn’t been answered yet, and we’ll see on Monday: Are they serious about negotiating with us in a real way?”Schumer didn’t directly say whether an extension of expiring Obamacare funds must be included in a bill to win Democratic votes.“We have two concerns. The first is health care. Our health care situation is a shambles in good part because of what the Republicans did in the ‘BBB,’ their so-called ‘big, beautiful bill,’” Schumer said. “People are losing their jobs. Rural hospitals are closing. People are going to get notices of $4,000-a-year increase in their premiums. So our job is to represent the people of America. So far, they’ve stonewalled and said we’re not discussing any of that. And we’ll see if it changes.”It takes 60 votes to pass a funding bill in the Senate. Republicans control 53 seats in the chamber.Schumer, who acceded to a Republican-written bill to keep the government open in March, denied that his change in posture is due to pressure he’s receiving from the Democratic base.He added that he’s unimpressed by the White House budget office memo threatening mass firings of federal employees in the event of a shutdown.“As for these massive layoffs, guess what? Simple one-sentence answer: They’re doing it anyway. There’s no shutdown. They’re laying off all these people,” Schumer said. “They’re trying to intimidate the American people, and us.”Sahil KapurSahil Kapur is a senior national political reporter for NBC News.
