Yes, Millions could lose SNAP Benefits if government shuts down

How will a possible government shutdown affect SNAP benefits? According to information provided by the Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, food stamps will be issued in October using money from a contingency fund but that's it! The contingency fund does not have enough money to pay SNAP beyond October. Therefore, if the shutdown lasts beyond October, SNAP benefit payments will be at risk. Additionally, WIC benefits will be impacted immediately after there is a shutdown since WIC contingency funds will only last a day or two. The government shutdown is looming and this morning, federal employees were notified to prepare for a shutdown, according to the Washington Post.
