Partial SNAP benefits expected to be transferred beginning Nov. 11

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Some SNAP recipients are expected to start seeing some benefits return as early as today, according to an email from the Missouri Department of Social Services.

SNAP benefits had not been delivered this month because of political battles surrounding ongoing government shutdown.

“The United State Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Services (USDA-FNS) updated guidance on November 8, 2025, directing states to issue partial November SNAP benefits based on recent developments,” an email from Missouri DSS spokesperson Baylee Watts says. “The Department’s EBT vendor has been notified and confirmed that they are prepared to receive and process Missouri’s SNAP file. Participants will have their partial benefits available starting Tuesday, November 11, and will be able to access and use them at that time.”

A social media post from Feeding Missouri says, “It’s important to note that a new federal formula will determine benefit amounts. As a result, some households will receive ONLY PART of their usual benefit, and some MAY NOT RECEIVE a payment this round.”

Reporting from CNN shows the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday extended a short-term order that allows President Donald Trump’s administration to withhold full Food Stamp payments this month. The U.S. Senate agreed on a bill on Monday evening that would reopen the government, which is going to the House this week.
