This comes after a federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to find the money to fully fund SNAP benefits for November.

On Friday, the AP reported that the Trump administration asked a federal appeals court to block the judge’s order, even as at least some states said they were moving quickly to get the money to people.
