COLORADO (KOAA) — On Friday, the State of Colorado submitted a request for SNAP participants to receive full payments for November.
The state says their SNAP payment vendor will work to get funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and load payments onto Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards.
If the request goes through, the state says more than 600,000 Coloradans who rely on SNAP benefits will receive full payments for this month.
“We are moving fast to make sure Coloradans aren’t going hungry. My administration and Colorado Department of Human Services will continue working to ensure SNAP food assistance is distributed as soon as possible so every household can stay healthy and nourished,” said Governor Jared Polis.
For individuals and families in need of food resources during the government shutdown, you can call 211, or visit Feeding Colorado's website.
