Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued an administrative stay late Friday, temporarily blocking a Rhode Island judge’s order that directed the Trump administration to fully fund November SNAP benefits during the ongoing government shutdown. The pause, which lasts until 48 hours after the First Circuit acts on a pending stay request, leaves states weighing next steps while partial payments continue for a program that serves about 42 million people.
Republican lawmakers in several states are advancing reforms to close loopholes in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that allow millionaires and others to qualify for benefits. Federal legislation passed in July 2025 requires states to cover more costs if error rates exceed 6% by 2028. Efforts aim to reduce waste as payment errors rise in many areas.
