KANSAS (KSNT) - The Kansas Department for Children and Families is reviewing a memo from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) after the U.S. Supreme Court told states to 'undo' Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.

The DCF announced that it was issuing full November benefits to Kansas SNAP recipients last week on Friday, Nov. 7. The following day, the USDA issued a memo telling states that the full SNAP payments for November were unauthorized. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson previously temporarily halted an order that required the Trump Administration to fund SNAP for November.

Governor Laura Kelly said her administration is working to provide emergency aid to Kansas families who depend on food assistance, at a recent budget tour stop in Leawood on Nov. 6.
