Gov. Evers announced on Thursday night that his administration has immediately moved to pay full November payments for all Wisconsin FoodShare members after a federal court had ordered the Trump Administration to use readily available federal funding for SNAP.
“After Wisconsinites and folks across the country were left scrambling and trying to figure out how to put food on their tables without critical food assistance because of the Trump Administration, I’m hopeful that the nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites, including kids, will be able to receive their November FoodShare payments in full and will not have to wake up tomorrow worried about when or whether they are going to eat next. It was damn important that we can get this done and moved as quickly as we could, and that’s what we’re doing,” said Gov. Evers in a statement.
The governor’s announcement comes on Day 37 of the ongoing federal government shutdown — now the longest federal government shutdown in American history.
