On November 1, 2025, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits stopped, affecting almost 42 million people across the nation, including people with developmental disabilities (DD). This is due to the current government shutdown.

Friends, neighbors, and family may be reaching out and wanting to help people with disabilities who receive food assistance through the SNAP program. That is wonderful. It is what being part of the community is all about.

However, they may not be aware of the risk that accepting certain help might risk people with disabilities losing federal benefits that have income and asset limits such as Medicaid, SSI, housing, and other programs.

NACDD is concerned that many people may not be aware that some kinds of gifts could risk your eligibility to receive federal benefits that have income and asset limits as part of the eligibility criteria.

To protect benefits, the safest way to get help is through community food programs or in-kind support like groceries, not cash or gift cards. When in doubt, check with your benefits worker or case manager before accepting help.
