Aderholt | A000055 | aderholt.house.gov | aderholt | https://aderholt.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. –Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) today issued a statement expressing his concern over the impending lapse of food assistance benefits due to the government funding impasse in Washington. “Food assistance benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will lapse on November 1 simply because Washington can’t keep the government open. This failure is completely avoidable. Working families should never be used as leverage in partisan battles. If Democrats wish to open discussions about Affordable Care Act subsidies, I say let’s do that — but let’s keep the government running while we talk. Let’s not shut down vital services and leave millions of Americans wondering how they’ll put food on the table.” Aderholt emphasized that Congress has a responsibility to ensure that essential services — such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — continue without interruption, regardless of ongoing policy disagreements. He noted that shutting down the government over unrelated disputes not only harms federal workers and contractors, but also millions of families who rely on critical programs and paychecks for their federal service. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
