SNAP BENEFITS 

A lot of smaller stores are no longer taking EBT until further notice. One of the biggest impacts of the government shutdown is about to hit tens of millions of the poorest Americans hard: the halting of a critical food assistance program. Several states are now warning they will be forced to suspend Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits come Nov. 1 if the shutdown continues. SNAP, often referred to as "food stamps," serves roughly 42 million low-income Americans. The program, run by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, issues electronic benefits that can be used like cash to purchase food.

For those still waiting for a yes, the toll is more than financial. It is emotional, and it is reshaping what it means to work, to hope, and to belong.
