As of Friday, some people in Chicago began receiving federally funded food assistance. It came as the Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt an order requiring full SNAP payments for November.

Along with when Illinois residents may be receiving reduced SNAP benefits, officials said not everyone who is eligible will be receiving benefits.

Partial benefits for those who were supposed to receive them Nov. 1 through 6 will be sent out starting Friday, the Illinois Department of Human Services told the Sun-Times in a statement.

The judge’s order requires the administration to make November payments to states by Friday.

Illinois residents who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits could receive partial payments as soon as Friday.

Food banks in central Illinois are waiting to see how a federal judge's ruling on SNAP benefits will impact their operations. The Trump administration has been ordered to fully restore food assistance while the government is shut down.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a vocal Democratic critic of President Donald Trump during the federal government shutdown, mischaracterized the Trump administration’s actions related to food aid for low-income families.

A new ruling coming from Rhode Island may be giving new life to a federal program providing food to millions of people. A U.S. District Judge ordered the Trump administration to provide full federal SNAP benefits to the states by Friday.

Two million people in Illinois rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. With the governor signing an executive order, $20 million in state funds will be directed to help food banks.

SNAP benefits will lapse on Saturday amid the ongoing government shutdown. Gov. JB Pritzker ordered $20 million for food banks to help, as food pantries are already seeing increasing demand.

The Trump Administration said the government will be partially funding this month’s SNAP benefits after federal judges ruled it needs to use reserve funds. Now, people in Central Illinois are trying to deal with the uncertainty while some food bank leaders say their lines are getting longer.
