The ongoing federal government shutdown threatens to halt Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in November, potentially affecting over 500,000 Bay Area residents who rely on the program. California officials have begun notifying CalFresh recipients about possible disruptions to their benefits. The White House has indicated it will not use contingency funds to maintain the program beyond October, stating those funds are designated for disaster relief.
