Any simple google search will tell you that the SNAP contingency fund had approximately $5B in it. The cost for a month’s worth of benefits is closer to $9B, hence the partial payments.
@HackingButLegal @BenGoldey @HouseAgGOP @Interior Hearing there was supposed to be about $40bn in SNAP funds but Ben here is saying 5 The math ain't mathing

I applaud President Trump’s choice of New Mexico’s Steve Pearce to lead the Bureau of Land Management. Steve’s leadership on public lands issues and energy issues makes him uniquely suited for the role. I encourage swift confirmation of his nomination. https://t.co/a7F2QbPAwu
