During the government shutdown, SNAP benefits are still available, but November benefits could be affected if the shutdown continues. Continue using your benefits as usual, and make sure your contact information is up to date with your county or Tribal Nation so you don’t miss important updates about your case. We understand how important these benefits are for families in our community. CHSI will continue sharing updates as more information becomes available.
