If the federal government shutdown continues beyond October 31, 2025, and funding is not restored, the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) will not be able to issue November Basic Food (SNAP) benefits.
We understand this uncertainty is stressful and want to share some resources to help you prepare and find support if needed:
Find Support and Food Assistance:
- Food Banks:
- Check with local food pantries, churches, and community organizations for food drives and emergency support.
- Begin planning ahead for November in case benefits are delayed.
