Statement from Governor Jeff Landry on Federal Government Shutdown and SNAP Benefits 

BATON ROUGE, LA –Today, Governor Jeff Landry issued the follow update on the Federal Government Shutdown and SNAP benefits in Louisiana.

"Notifications from LDH have been sent out stating that, because of Democrat Leader Schumer's Shutdown, SNAP beneficiaries may run out of funds by November 1. I have been in discussions with other governors across the nation, as well as with our legislative leadership. I am making it a top priority to ensure that seniors, individuals with disabilities, and children who rely on food stamps do not go hungry in Louisiana. Democrats’ political games need to end,” said Governor Landry.
