美国农业部宣布因政府持续关闭暂停11月食品援助福利发放

摘要

美国农业部宣布,由于联邦政府长期关闭,11月食品援助福利将暂停发放,影响超过4100万美国人。

美国农业部(USDA)宣布,由于联邦政府持续关闭,11月的食品援助福利将不会发放。此决定影响了依赖这些每月支付的超过4100万美国人。

此次政府关闭已持续第25天,导致国会在资金拨款和重新开放联邦政府问题上陷入僵局。农业部在其官网上表示:“归根结底,资金已经枯竭。目前,11月1日将不会发放任何福利。”

作为回应,超过200名众议院民主党议员敦促农业部利用紧急储备资金来支持11月的食品福利发放。然而,农业部表示不会动用这些储备资金。预算与政策优先中心的莎朗·帕罗特批评政府的不作为,称其“本可以,也应该在数周前采取措施,准备使用这些资金。”

路易斯安那州和弗吉尼亚州的州长已宣布进入紧急状态,以拨款用于饥饿救助,预计11月补充营养援助计划(SNAP)福利将被暂停发放。
