Seth Tupper reports:
Because Congress has failed to pass a bill to fund and reopen the federal government, the Trump administration has said it won’t be able to provide all of this month’s benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP.
The program provides about 75,000 low-income South Dakotans with money loaded onto cards they can use to buy food. The cards are loaded on the 10th day of each month.
A full month of benefits in South Dakota requires about $15 million of federal funding. Rhoden said the state cannot afford to replace a portion or all of those funds.
75,000 South Dakotans: That's 8% of the state's population.
