Trump administration posts notice that no federal food aid will go out Nov. 1

adminOctober 26, 2025

The U. S. Department of Agriculture has posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid will not go out on Nov. 1 as the government shutdown drags on. The cutoff would expand the impact of the impasse to some of the Americans most in need unless a resolution is found in just a few days. The notice comes after the Trump administration said it will not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep the benefits flowing into November. The Trump administration blames Democrats, who say they won’t agree to reopen the government until Republicans negotiate with them on extending expiring subsidies under the Affordable Care Act.
