The Louisiana Department of Health says federal SNAP funds will be distributed to eligible recipients starting this Friday.
Officials say some funds that had been temporarily made available earlier this week were withdrawn and sent to elderly and disabled SNAP recipients between Saturday and Tuesday.
The White House has announced that it will partially fund SNAP during the federal government shutdown using contingency funding.
An LDH spokesperson says two federal judges ordered the administration to do so.
