Gov. Braun Issues Available SNAP Benefits
State prepared to distribute full amount once made available
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced today that partial Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will be issued to eligible Hoosiers. Benefits will begin processing today and are expected to be available on qualifying EBT cards starting tomorrow, November 11. Hoosiers expecting November SNAP benefits should check the balance on their EBT cards beginning Tuesday, November 11.
Indiana is prepared to issue partial benefits due to federal funding restrictions and a U.S. Supreme Court stay. As the shutdown 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 welcomed 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. 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.
