联邦法官要求在政府停摆期间继续提供SNAP资金

摘要

联邦法官已命令特朗普政府利用应急资金维持补充营养援助计划(SNAP)福利的发放,以应对持续的政府停摆,这影响了数百万美国人。

在持续的政府停摆期间,罗德岛和马萨诸塞州的联邦法官已要求特朗普政府利用现有的应急资金继续资助补充营养援助计划(SNAP)。美国农业部(USDA)原计划自11月1日起停止SNAP付款,理由是停摆导致的资金限制。SNAP为约4200万美国人提供服务,每月花费约80亿美元。

农业部拥有50亿美元的应急基金,并可动用额外的230亿美元,法院已指示这些资金可用于维持该项目。美国地方法官约翰·麦康奈尔和英迪拉·塔尔瓦尼已命令政府在周一之前提供更新,说明是否将使用这些资金来全部或部分资助11月份的SNAP福利。

关于SNAP资金的不确定性促使各州采取行动。纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔宣布进入紧急状态,拨款6500万美元支持食品银行,以应对可能出现的联邦资金中断。俄勒冈州和弗吉尼亚州也作出紧急声明以应对这一情况。

倡导者强调SNAP的重要性,指出该计划是抵御贫困和食品不安全的关键生命线。该项目主要帮助有子女的家庭,任何中断都可能对数百万低收入美国人产生重大影响。
