President Donald Trump’s administration faces deadlines on Monday to tell two federal judges whether it will comply with court orders that it continue to fund SNAP, the nation’s biggest food aid program, using contingency funds during the government shutdown. The US Department of Agriculture planned to freeze payments to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program starting Nov. 1 because it said it could no longer keep funding it due to the shutdown.

Despite the ruling, it seems likely SNAP benefits will still be delayed.

The Trump administration said Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits would cease on Nov. 1.
