Due to a lack of funding caused by the federal government shutdown, the following program benefits will not be issued for November until the shutdown ends or the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) receives further guidance from the federal government:
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
- Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) food benefits
The MFIP cash portion will continue to go out in November. If you have been receiving SNAP or MFIP benefits in October or prior months, continue to use them as usual.
The department continues to explore solutions that will give Minnesotans access to benefits should the shutdown continue. Visit
