The ongoing federal government shutdown continues to cause uncertainty regarding Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and its impact on student nutrition. On October 31, 2025 Governor Murphy signed Executive Order No. 402 which declared a State of Emergency due to suspension of benefits and implemented a statewide effort to ensure food access for residents. To support school district efforts to help meet their communities’ food assistance needs during this time, the Department will continue to keep school districts updated and share state resources as they become available.
- The Murphy Administration’s SNAP Shutdown Updates website is regularly updated with the current status of benefits, as well as links to resources for those affected by the Federal suspension. This includes:
