BOSTON — Governor Maura Healey issued the following statement after a federal judge ordered President Donald Trump to release full SNAP benefits. 

“Millions of American families have been going hungry because President Trump has been choosing not to fund SNAP,” said Governor Healey. “It shouldn’t take multiple court orders for the President to feed children, veterans, seniors and people with disabilities. The President needs to comply with this court order and fully fund SNAP immediately. Massachusetts is ready to get benefits to people ASAP.” 

The Department of Transitional Assistance will continue to provide updates to SNAP recipients. More information can be found at mass.gov/SNAPupdates. Information for how families facing hunger can get help and how to help your neighbors in need can be found at mass.gov/SNAPfreeze.
