NEW DHHS UPDATE Regarding Snap Benefits

(Updated: Nov. 7, 2025, 3:12 a.m.)

A new update has been issued by the USDA regarding SNAP benefits this week.

The USDA advised that reduced SNAP benefits will be issued in November 2025 in compliance with the United States District Court Judge John McConnell Temporary Restraining Order on Saturday, November 1, 2025.

NC DHHS will act once it receives instructions from USDA identifying:
  • The effective date of the reduction
  • The percentage of SNAP benefit reduction
NC DHHS will update its systems to use USDA revised benefit tables to issue the reduced benefits once this information is received.

More In My Basket will provide updates as new information becomes available. For any questions regarding SNAP, please call them toll free at 1-855-240-1451.
