Late on Wednesday, Nov. 5, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) sent states new instructions about Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) partial payments for November.

The Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) is now recalculating each household’s SNAP benefits based on the Nov. 5 guidance, which is different from guidance provided on Nov. 4.

DCF does not yet know the exact benefit amounts or when the updated payments will be sent out. Please continue to monitor the DCF webpage for updates as they are available: https://www.dcf.ks.gov/Agency/Pages/2025-Federal-Government-Shutdown.aspx.
