SNAP Update

The Tennessee Department of Human Services has announced that the department will begin processing partial SNAP payments, following updated guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service to issue 65% of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for November 2025.

When directed, upon the reopening of the federal government, the Tennessee Department of Human Services will work quickly with the USDA to process remaining benefits for SNAP customers.

SNAP customers who were originally scheduled to receive their benefits between November 1st through 12th will begin to see benefits November 12th.

SNAP customers scheduled to receive SNAP benefits after

November 12th can expect to receive their partial November SNAP benefit payment on their regularly scheduled date.
