The Trump administration on Saturday ordered states to immediately reverse any steps to issue full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for November 2025, after the U.S. Supreme Court granted an administrative stay. In a notice, the USDA said any full SNAP payment files sent for November were unauthorized and told states to alert regional officials as they correct them. The high court’s temporary order, issued late Friday, blocks a lower court ruling requiring full payments and will remain in place until the First Circuit considers a stay request.
