Important Notice: SNAP Benefits and the Federal Government Shutdown

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) administered through the Florida Department of Children and Families is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), a federal agency whose funding was affected by the federal government shutdown.

On November 13, 2025, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service provided guidance to states allowing the payment of full November 2025 SNAP benefits to eligible recipients following the end of the federal government shutdown.

As of 5 a.m. ET on November 14, 2025, all previously scheduled November SNAP benefits have been issued to eligible recipients. Recipients scheduled to receive November SNAP benefits after November 14 will receive their benefits on their normally scheduled issuance dates.  Recipients will see available benefits on their ebtEDGE.com accounts.

If you have already submitted an application or renewal, there is no need to reapply – doing so will slow down the processing of your benefits.
