Description

Friday, November 7, 2025 Update: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) full benefits will be issued to all benefit recipients as early as Saturday, November 8, 2025. Benefits will be issued to all households currently approved to receive November SNAP and MFIP payments. This means some households may receive payments earlier than would be typical. The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families is doing this to take steps to protect Minnesotans during the uncertainty of potential future court orders.
