"Bottom line, the well has run dry,"
"At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 1."
"The US Department of Agriculture has a special fund to help supplement the program in an emergency, [but] the agency said on Friday it won't use it during the shutdown."
A message on the USDA website states, "Bottom line, the well has run dry." The message also states, "At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 1." The agency has a special fund intended to supplement the program in emergencies. The USDA will not use that emergency supplement fund during the shutdown. As a result, benefits that would have been issued November 1 will not be distributed. The shutdown has left the program without available funding for the upcoming issuance. Recipients who depended on the scheduled benefits face immediate disruption and uncertainty.
