政府关门威胁数百万人的十一月补充营养援助计划（SNAP）福利
摘要
持续的联邦政府关门危及十一月的补充营养援助计划（SNAP）福利，可能影响近4200万依赖该计划获得食物援助的美国人。
持续的联邦政府关门使十一月的补充营养援助计划（SNAP）福利面临风险，可能影响近4200万依赖该计划获得食物援助的美国人。美国农业部（USDA）已通知各州机构，由于资金不足，除非政府重新开放，否则十一月的SNAP支付可能无法发放。
SNAP，前称食品券，是全国最大的反饥饿项目，服务对象多样，包括儿童、在职人员、老年人、退伍军人及残疾人。该项目平均每月向受益人提供187美元，帮助他们购买食品杂货。
美国农业部已指示各州机构暂停发放十一月福利，直至另行通知，原因是本月分配所需的80亿美元中缺少20亿美元。这一中断可能导致美国自大萧条以来最严重的饥饿危机，饥饿无国界组织首席执行官乔尔·伯格（Joel Berg）表示。
在宾夕法尼亚州，近两百万居民面临失去SNAP福利的风险。州长乔什·夏皮罗强调事态紧迫，称联邦政府关门直接影响该州，威胁到居民的关键食物援助。
美国农业部还警告称，服务超过600万低收入家庭的妇女、婴儿和儿童特别补充营养计划（WIC）若关门持续，也面临资金耗尽的风险。
随着关门持续，州机构和食品银行正准备应对需求增加。一些州已宣布进入紧急状态，并寻求替代资金来源以支持有需要的人士。然而，倡导者警告称，这些措施可能无法完全弥补联邦援助的缺失。
