Kansas DCF reacts to partial SNAP funding decision

TOPEKA (KSNT) – The Kansas Department for Children and Families is weighing in after federal officials announced a national food program will be partially funded in November.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said it will partially send out benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during the month of November. Funding is being drawn from a contingency fund.

The USDA will first send out official notices to each state showing how much individual households will receive from the contingency fund, according to a federal court filing. The DCF reports that it has yet to receive this information from the USDA but, once it does, it will determine the next steps to issue partial payments and speak more about when Kansas SNAP recipients can expect to receive them.

People can stay informed about this issue by visiting a new section on the DCF website that contains information about the ongoing government shutdown and its impacts on DCF programs. You can find this resource online by clicking here.

Kansans who need additional help during the shutdown are encouraged to contact Kansas Food Source or Harvesters to find the locations of local food banks and food pantries. You can also use the following resources to get help:
