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.

The Department is closely monitoring the ongoing federal government shutdown. In accordance with recent federal guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service, at this time November 2025 SNAP benefits will be reduced to align with the direction provided. The Department is making the necessary updates to implement these changes and will provide notification as these benefits are available. Please check this webpage for the latest updates.

Any previously issued benefits remain available for use, and you can check your EBT card balance anytime by visiting ebtEDGE.com.

To ensure you can receive benefits as quickly as possible once federal funding resumes, you should continue to maintain your eligibility for the program by meeting all work-related activities and tasks, including job search training, supervised job search, and basic education are strongly encouraged to stay engaged and complete assigned tasks.

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.
