The United States Department of Agriculture has ordered a pause on all November SNAP benefits until further notice due to the federal government shutdown. Unless the USDA lifts their suspension in the coming days, November SNAP benefits will not be issued. The NC Department of Health and Human Services is ready to act quickly if the USDA allows North Carolina to resume November SNAP benefits.

You can still use your EBT card and current benefits at retailers and grocers that accept SNAP/EBT in North Carolina. You can check your balance in the ebtEDGE app or by calling the number on the back of your EBT card.

Although USDA has suspended SNAP benefits for November, please still continue to follow reporting requirements, including recertifying for benefits during your usual recertification schedule. DSS is still open for business and will continue to process new SNAP applications, recertifications, and change reports. We know how important these benefits are. NCDHHS will continue to share updates on this situation on their website at https://www.ncdhhs.gov/about/federal-government-shutdown.

NCDHHS received a letter from the federal government that November FNS benefits may be disrupted if the federal shutdown continues. We are working to get a better understanding of exactly what that disruption will mean for North Carolina. It may mean that November FNS benefits may not be issued on your normal schedule for your usual benefit amount. We understand how important these benefits are. We will share updates as soon as federal guidance is issued. For more information on FNS benefits and impacts from the federal shutdown you may also visit NCDHHS’s website at www.ncdhhs.gov/fns. You can check your balance in the ebtEDGE app or by calling the number on the back of your EBT card.
