There has been a statement issues saying that food benefits for Feb will be issued on January 20th, and any shutdown beyond Feb will result in no food benefits.
There’s been a lot of conflicting information regarding SNAP and TANF benefits.
Could we please have someone from DSHS respond directly here?

From my contact at DSHS
Good morning, as of right now we’ll continue to process SNAP and TANF. If the shutdown continue clients will continue to receive TANF/ ABD as they are state funded programs. We were also inform that they more
likely sufficient funds to issue March food benefits.
