Adams Applauds AG Jackson, Joins Calls to Release November SNAP Benefits | 2025-10-28 | 2025 | 2025-10 | Democrat | House | NC | Alma S. Adams | A000370 | adams.house.gov | adams | https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, DC—Today, Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. (NC-12) released a statement on North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson’s lawsuit to continue funding SNAP benefits after the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced they would not be administering SNAP in November. Congress already allocated roughly $6 billion to the SNAP contingency fund which could fund partial SNAP benefits in November but the USDA refuses to use them, letting the program lapse instead. “I applaud Attorney General Jeff Jackson for fighting for the 1.4 million North Carolinians who will go hungry if the USDA refuses to fund SNAP,” said Congresswoman Adams. “The decision to withhold SNAP by the Trump administration is not only unlawful, but also a cruel and deliberate attempt to take food away from the people who need it most. North Carolina citizens are not political pawns, and we will not let this administration treat them as hostages.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
