PSA: Suspension of Snap Funding

October 14, 2025

 

Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, we regret to inform you that, effective October 16, 2025, both pending and new applications for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will be unable to be approved. This is due to the suspension of federal funding for the program. We understand the impact this may have and are committed to keeping you informed as the situation evolves.

 

You may still apply for SNAP benefits during this time. County staff will continue to accept applications, gather verifications, and complete interviews so cases can be processed when federal funding resumes.

 

This situation is changing rapidly. County staff will share updates as new information becomes available. Please visit the Department of Children Youth and Families website or the Beltrami County website at for the latest updates.
