The federal shut down may delay the issuance of November 2025 Food Assistance benefits. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has offered the following guidance:
SNAP participants should reach out to their local MDHHS office with any questions regarding their SNAP benefits or check MI Bridges for updates.
- Dial 2-1-1 or visit Find Help - Michigan 2-1-1 for free, confidential assistance and referrals to local food programs and support services.
- Visit the Food Bank Council of Michigan to locate nearby food banks and learn about additional hunger relief efforts.
MSU Extension is a SNAP outreach agency, please see below for a list of additional resources that may support you at this time.
