Following a court order today, the federal government will fund only half of SNAP benefits in November. The federal government’s decision to fund reduced benefits will make it significantly more complicated for states to issue the funds, which will delay November SNAP benefits to households by days or weeks.

Benefits left on cards from previous months can still be used, but new benefits will be less than in prior months and will be delayed by the federal government.

IDHS is exploring how payments will work in Illinois and will keep customers updated on this evolving situation.

October 26 is Inters*x Awareness Day, an annual observation dedicated to increasing visibility and promoting advocacy for the inters*x community. Inters*x people are born with s*x characteristics (such as s*xual anatomy, reproductive organs, hormonal patterns and/or chromosomal patterns) that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies. Today, we uplift inters*x voices, educate society and celebrate the rich diversity of human bodies. *xawareness *xawarenessweek
