State prepared to distribute full amount once made available
Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced Monday, Nov. 11 that partial Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will be issued to eligible Hoosiers.
Benefits began processing Monday and are expected to be available on qualifying EBT cards starting today, Nov. 11. Hoosiers expecting November SNAP benefits should check the balance on their EBT cards beginning today.
Indiana is prepared to issue partial benefits due to federal funding restrictions and a U.S. Supreme Court stay. As the shutdown eventually winds down and funding is restored, the state is positioned to move quickly to deliver full benefits to qualifying households across Indiana as soon as possible.
Governor Mike Braun said he will welcome the end of the shutdown and credited the outcome to a long-overdue shift in Washington.
“After weeks of gridlock, it’s good to see some folks in D.C. finally come to their senses,” Braun said. “Senate Democrats held this up far too long, but they’ve finally relented. SNAP benefits are on the way, and Indiana is well-positioned to distribute them as soon as possible.”
FSSA remains in close contact with federal partners and is prepared to respond quickly to any further changes in federal policy or funding.
Hoosiers who need immediate food assistance are encouraged to call 2-1-1 or contact their local food bank.
