The US Supreme Court on Tuesday extended its order blocking full SNAP payments to states.
The high court extended the block until Thursday as the government shutdown comes to an end.
“The administrative stay entered on November 7, 2025, is hereby extended until 11:59 p.m. (EST) on November 13, 2025,” the order read.

The Department of Agriculture late Saturday evening instructed states to “immediately undo steps” taken to fund SNAP benefits for November.
“The US Supreme Court granted the US Department of Agriculture an administrative stay of the orders issued by the District Court of Rhode Island,” the memo read.
“Pending any explicit direction to the contrary from Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), States must not transmit full benefit issuance files to EBT processors. Instead, States must continue to process and load the partial issuance files that reflect the 35 percent reduction of maximum allotments detailed in the November 5 guidance,” the memo stated.
Justice Jackson’s order was set to expire 48 hours after the First Circuit’s resolution of the pending motion.
