Due of the federal government shutdown, Kentucky has been told that November 2025 SNAP benefits may be delayed if the shutdown continues. It is not yet known if November benefits will be loaded on your EBT card on time, or at all, as the shutdown continues.​
As soon as the federal government reopens or provides funding, the Cabinet will load benefits to EBT cards as soon as possible.

What you need to know:
You will still get your October benefits.
You can keep using any benefits already on your EBT card.
This issue does not affect your eligibility for SNAP.
DCBS offices are open and still taking and processing applications.
This includes benefits from the Simplified Assistance for the Elderly (SAFE) and Elderly Simplified Application Project (ESAP) programs.

You can find food assistance and other resources at kynect.ky.gov/resources.

For the latest updates, visit chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dcbs, check your kynect.ky.gov account, or watch for official DCBS texts or emails.
