A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to provide full food benefits to roughly 42 million Americans enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by Friday.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Friday it was working to comply with a judge's order to pay full food aid benefits for nearly 42 million low-income Americans within the day, even as President Donald Trump's administration urged an appeals court to relieve it of that obligation.

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed SNAP 'increased almost 40%.' That's wrong, no matter how you interpret the allegation.

The US Department of Agriculture issued revised guidance to states on Wednesday evening that will result in food stamp enrollees receiving somewhat larger partial benefits in November.

The Trump administration agreed to issue partial benefits to SNAP recepients following two federal court rulings. However, the calculations and distributions could take anywhere from days to months.

The Trump administration filed a last-minute appeal with the Supreme Court to not have to pay full SNAP food aid benefits to millions of Americans.
