Many Illinois families are still wondering how they will put food on the table after a U.S. Supreme Court justice put an order on hold late Friday that would have required the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP payments for November.

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

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.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to fully fund federal food assistance in November by Friday. Will benefits return?

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.

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.

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.

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.
