PHOENIX (AZFamily/AP) — Gov. Katie Hobbs announced on Friday evening that Arizonans who need SNAP assistance should start getting full benefits for November.

Hobbs said she ordered the state Department of Economic Security to take “swift action.” The roughly 800,000 Arizonans on SNAP should start receiving money on their EBT cards beginning Friday.

DES will resume its regular schedule of issuing the money so recipients should see their full benefits for the month being loaded onto their card during the coming days.

In a written statement, Hobbs thanked state workers for making the SNAP funding possible.

“It shouldn’t take a court order for politicians in Washington, DC to do the right thing for Arizona families, but I am glad that this much-needed relief will be delivered to Arizonans and I look forward to USDA quickly releasing these critical funds. I’m also thankful for the public servants at the Department of Economic Security who have been working tirelessly to cut through the chaos of the federal government and ensure our families see their SNAP benefits paid in full,” she said.

🚨 BREAKING: After I directed @ArizonaDES to take swift action, Arizonans have started receiving their SNAP payments in full. Over the coming days, SNAP recipients should see their November benefit loaded onto their card.

On Friday, a federal appeals court rejected the Trump administration’s bid to block a judge’s order that it must distribute November’s ful monthly SNAP food benefits amid the U.S. government shutdown.

The administration wanted to continue its planned partial SNAP payments for the month.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said it was taking steps to comply with the federal court order to provide full food benefits through November.

Officials in at least a half-dozen states confirmed that some SNAP recipients already were issued full November payments on Friday.
