AUGUSTA-- Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has notified every state that November funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the nation's largest anti-hunger program, will not be issued at this time.

Saw this mentioned in the news mega but was having trouble finding the original source, which appears to be this press release from Maine’s DHHS
