USDA Orders States to Reverse Full SNAP Benefits; Wisconsin Governor Defies DirectiveThe U.S. Department of Agriculture has instructed states to reverse actions taken to send out full SNAP benefits, warning of potential loss of federal funding and legal responsibility for distributed funds. Despite this, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has refused to comply, stating that the state legally provided full FoodShare payments to residents, including children, in accordance with a court order. This situation arises from a lawsuit by non-profits and Democratic attorneys general to maintain the program, leading to the quick release of benefits to millions in several states.
