Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we work to provide essential services to the American public during the Federal Government Shutdown.

Be Aware – Social Security does not ADMINISTER SNAP benefits.

Due to the shutdown, there will be insufficient funds to pay full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits starting November 1. SNAP benefits, or "food stamps," are distributed by state agencies, not the Social Security Administration (SSA). SNAP recipients should contact their state's SNAP office with any questions about the program.
