Open enrollment for health insurance on kynect has started and this is what Kentucky families are facing. Congress needs to extend the subsidies that help people afford insurance and end the shutdown.

The law was clear all along and has now been affirmed. No further standing in the way of groceries for 42 million
Today’s rulings confirm what’s been clear all along: the Administration has been sitting on billions of available dollars that it is legally required to use to fund November benefits for the 1 in 8 Americans who need SNAP to afford their groceries.

The money is there in the state’s Budget Reserve Trust Fund to fill the gap in the loss of November SNAP benefits. Kentucky has stockpiled $3.76 billion in that fund, and food aid equal in cost to November benefits would cost a fraction of that. 2/

If Congress and the President are not going to act to protect SNAP food assistance, we in Kentucky must step up. The state’s rainy day fund is for rainy days, and cutting off SNAP benefits on November 1st is a downpour for 1 in 8 Kentuckians. 1/

This is why the government shutdown occurred:
Can you afford hundreds or even thousands more a month for health insurance? That's what Kentuckians who get insurance on kynect are facing as key health insurance subsidies expire.

The Trump Administration’s assertion that it can't use SNAP’s contingency reserves for SNAP benefits is contrary to: ▪️The plain language of the law ▪️Their own (now deleted) shutdown plan ▪️Guidance from prior Administrations We have the receipts:
cbpp.org
The Administration must use all available options to fund November benefits for the 1 in 8 people in the U.S. who need SNAP to afford their grocery bill.

SNAP effectively and efficiently provides food to over 560,000 Kentuckians. And it provides economic stimulus to KY communities - particularly in hard times - including for over 4,700 retailers, farmers markets and farmers in Kentucky. Let’s make sure Kentuckians get fed.
Kentucky: Your Congressman needs to hear from you. Tell Rep. James Comer to protect health care, end the shutdown and restore SNAP to keep Kentuckians fed. (1/5)
