Maxwell Frost Urges State to Provide Stopgap SNAP Funding
Democratic U.S. Representative Maxwell Frost is calling on the state of Florida to provide temporary funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as a federal shutdown threatens to withhold funding for 3 million Floridians relying on the program.
A government shutdown extending into November could mean that money stops flowing for SNAP, including for Florida recipients. Frost sent a letter to Governor Ron DeSantis and Senate President Ben Albritton, urging them to address the issue.
Floridians are already dealing with worsening unemployment and soaring grocery prices. Food banks in Central Florida have already been reporting a record number of neighbors in need and strained resources.
Meanwhile, Washington Republicans are increasingly blaming congressional Democrats for stalled talks. Frost's request comes as the state faces a potential crisis in food assistance.
