Kentucky has received approval to fully fund SNAP benefits for residents who rely on the assistance program, Governor Andy Beshear announced.
Beshear said state officials plan to work through the night to process the benefits, hoping families will see the funds on their cards by tomorrow.
“Great news, Kentucky – we’ve finally received the go-ahead to fully fund SNAP benefits for Kentuckians who rely on this assistance,” Beshear said. “Once again, our team will work through the night tonight, with the hope our families can see those benefits hit cards tomorrow.”
The governor noted that the Trump Administration had previously refused to release the benefits, creating delays for Kentucky families.
“Despite the Trump Administration’s refusal to release these benefits, Team Kentucky is doing everything possible to ensure folks don’t have to wait any longer,” Beshear said. “We’re in this together.”
The state’s emergency processing effort aims to reduce the impact of the federal delay on Kentucky families who depend on SNAP assistance for food security.
