Full November SNAP benefits are now on EBT cards — but after a week of federal uncertainty, many families are still feeling the whiplash.

We’re grateful to @GovNedLamont and the State of CT for stepping up to ensure households received the full benefits they rely on. 💚

[End Hunger Connecticut! @EndHungerCT]

🚨 GREAT NEWS: November SNAP benefits will be fully funded, and soon.

@ctdss says benefits will be paid as soon as federal funds arrive — and available immediately on EBT cards.

😱 What’s really scary this Halloween? Thousands of CT kids may not get SNAP benefits tomorrow due to the ongoing shutdown.

📞 Call [phone] to urge Congress to act.
💚 Need food? Call 2-1-1 or (866) 974-SNAP.
🍎 If you can, consider making a donation to your local pantry.

I joined Connecticut Attorney General William Tong to announce a lawsuit filed by 25 states and the District of Columbia over the Trump administration‘s refusal to release almost $6 billion in emergency funds so that families won’t see their SNAP benefits interrupted starting November 1st. I am grateful to live in a state that fights for our residents at every level.

Hunger isn’t inevitable. It’s a policy choice.

There is no reason for November SNAP benefits to be delayed. @USDA and @SecRollins have the authority to act and prevent hunger. The time to use it is now.

[End Hunger Connecticut! @EndHungerCT]

🚨 Good news: You can still use existing SNAP benefits after Nov 1! USDA confirmed carryover benefits remain accessible during the shutdown.

Good news for CT families: Even with the federal shutdown, WIC benefits will continue thanks to swift action from @GovNedLamont.

No one should lose access to food or nutrition support during a crisis. 💪

💬 “The only way I make it work is going to markets that double SNAP…”

We recently heard directly from CT SNAP participants. Their message is clear: SNAP is a lifeline.

As federal cuts deepen food insecurity, we must listen — and act.

☀️ SUN Meals & SUN Bucks help fill the gap when school’s out — but as SNAP & Medicaid face cuts, these programs are more vital than ever. We joined @uwgnh & @rosadelauro to call for their protection.
