            @GovDanMcKee For families with children who are eligible for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits as well as SNAP benefits, the State of Rhode Island will be adding a partial payment to your EBT card to help you cover grocery costs in the short term!

             (🧵) Due to the federal government shutdown, SNAP benefits may not be issued on November 1. In Rhode Island, SNAP delivers about $29 million each month in essential food assistance to approximately 145,000 residents.

             President Trump’s refusal to release SNAP benefits is cruel and inexcusable. I’m directing $6M to families with children, deploying $200K to food pantries and mobilizing partners. RI won’t stand by while our neighbors go hungry—we’re continuing to pursue options to protect them.

             Si el cierre continúa, todos los nuevos beneficios del SNAP se suspenderán el 1 de noviembre. Sintonice esta sesión informativa en Facebook. If the shutdown continues, all SNAP benefits will be halted on 11/1. Tune into this information session on Facebook.

             Attending the R.I.S.E. Women's Leadership Conference was incredibly inspiring as always. Investing in women's economic empowerment is the best investment for Rhode Island's future. Thank you to the organizers for a powerful event!
