Direct answer: As of November 2025, several states have begun issuing or increasing SNAP benefit payments in response to ongoing funding and court orders, with a mix of full and partial payments depending on state actions and federal guidance. A number of states have reported issuing full November SNAP benefits using state funds or federal court orders, while others have continued partial payments or delays. Specific states frequently mentioned include California, Hawaii, Oregon, Wisconsin, Louisiana, New Mexico, Maryland, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, New York, and several others, with variations over time as court decisions and federal guidance evolve. Context and what to expect
- Full benefits: Some states have announced they will or have begun issuing full SNAP benefits for November, including those that tapped state funds or received court-ordered guidance to fund the full amounts. This has been reported in outlets tracking the federal court rulings and state responses. Expect full payments in states actively implementing the court orders and/or using available funds to cover the shortfall. [abcnews.go.com:9][fns.usda.gov:7]
- Partial or delayed benefits: Other states have issued reduced benefits or delayed issuance while awaiting federal guidance or resolution of funding. In some cases, recipients may see remaining funds added to their accounts later in the month as state or federal actions unfold. [cnn.com:1][newsweek.com:3]
- Legal and administrative dynamics: The situation has involved federal court orders, government shutdown dynamics, and actions by state governments to bridge funding gaps, leading to a patchwork of coverage that can change from week to week. [cnn.com:1][npr.org:5]
