The USDA is directing states to withhold Electronic
Transfer Benefits for the month of November until further notice,
setting up a potential food stamp crisis that could very easily lead to
riots and widespread looting if the government shutdown drags on.
The USDA, which oversees the Supplemental Nutritional
Assistance Program (SNAP), issued the order in a letter to SNAP
administrators which states, “Understanding the operational issues and
constraints that States face, and in the interest of preserving maximum
flexibility, we are directing States to hold their November issuance
files and delay transmission to State electronic benefit transfer (EBT)
vendors until further notice.”
