Judge Indira Talwani: ELECTRONIC ORDER: the court's Memorandum and Order [ 26 ] directed Defendants to report to the court whether they will authorize at least reduced SNAP benefits for November and, if so, their timeline for determining whether to authorize only reduced SNAP benefits using the Contingency Funds or to authorize full SNAP benefits using both the Contingency Funds and additional available funds. Defendants' Response [ 48 ], filed on November 3, 2025, states that "USDA is making all of the Contingency Funds available to the States for a partial payment" and "has chosen not to deplete" discretionary funds for full payments. Defendants' Response 1 [ 48 ]. Defendants state further that "USDA will fulfill its obligation to expend the full amount of SNAP contingency funds today by generating the table required for States to calculate the benefits available for each eligible household in that State" and that "USDA will therefore have made the necessary funds available and have authorized the States to begin disbursements once the table is issued." Id. The accompanying Declaration of Patrick A. Penn [[48-1]] states further that "USDA must notify States of the effective date of the reduction and by what percentage maximum SNAP allotments are to be reduced[,]" and that "USDA is prepared to issue such notice and revised issuance tables to State agencies on November 3, 2025." Id. ¶¶ 25-26. Plaintiffs and Defendants shall promptly confirm that such notice and revised issuance tables have been issued to State agencies. (SEC) (Entered: 11/04/2025)
