PSA: SNAP and MFIP Update

October 22, 2025

Beltrami County Health and Human Services

Due to a lack of funding caused by the federal government shutdown, SNAP and MFIP food benefits will not be issued for November until the shutdown ends or we receive further guidance from the federal government. The MFIP cash portion will continue to go out in November. If you have been receiving SNAP or MFIP benefits, continue to use them as usual.  

The Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), continues to explore solutions that will give Minnesotans access to benefits should the shutdown continue.  Visit dcyf.mn.gov/federal-shutdown for more information and updates on the shutdown.
