Millions of low-income families faced fresh delays Saturday after a late-night Supreme Court order let the Trump administration continue withholding some SNAP funds. States that had begun restoring full benefits abruptly paused, sowing confusion from Ohio, where payments were delayed, to Massachusetts, which paid some recipients but could not say when others would be served. In New York, an EBT card was declined at a quiet Manhattan deli. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s temporary stay left an appeals court to decide whether full funding must resume.
