As of Friday, some people in Chicago began receiving federally funded food assistance. It came as the Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt an order requiring full SNAP payments for November.

Illinois residents who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits could receive partial payments as soon as Friday.

Along with when Illinois residents may be receiving reduced SNAP benefits, officials said not everyone who is eligible will be receiving benefits.

Partial benefits for those who were supposed to receive them Nov. 1 through 6 will be sent out starting Friday, the Illinois Department of Human Services told the Sun-Times in a statement.

The judge’s order requires the administration to make November payments to states by Friday.

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

The Trump Administration said the government will be partially funding this month’s SNAP benefits after federal judges ruled it needs to use reserve funds. Now, people in Central Illinois are trying to deal with the uncertainty while some food bank leaders say their lines are getting longer.
