November 2025 Benefits Affected by 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, a federal agency whose funding is affected by the federal government shutdown.

What This Means for You

If the federal government shutdown continues into November, SNAP benefits for the month of November will not be issued until federal funding is restored. You may receive notices about your eligible benefit amount, but you will not receive any benefits deposited to your EBT card during this time. The Department is monitoring the federal government shutdown closely and will notify you as soon as we can resume issuing benefits, and any updates will be posted to this webpage.

October 2025 SNAP benefits will be issued as scheduled for eligible Floridians. Your SNAP benefits currently on your EBT card are available for use, and you can check your EBT card balance anytime by visiting ebtEDGE.com. 

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
