Workers at Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services were told on October 23 that due to the federal government shutdown, there is not “enough funding to fully support November Food Assistance Program (FAP) benefits nationwide.”
Management said federal officials ordered Michigan NOT to pay out Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, formerly Food Stamps, beginning on November 1, 2025. It is the elderly, the disabled and children who are the vast majority of food assistance recipients. Such depravity, to attack society’s most vulnerable!
In Michigan, roughly one and a half million people will NOT see November money load onto their electronic benefits card—a card that provides the food needed to live. Why? Because both political parties are playing “Hunger Games” with people’s lives. The federal government has NOT stopped taking tax money from workers’ checks! So games are clearly being played regarding what is shut down and what is not!
