⚠️ Due to the federal government shutdown, SNAP benefits will be suspended beginning November 1st.
Until the federal government reaches a budget resolution, Oklahoma Human Services (OKDHS) cannot issue new or ongoing SNAP payments.
✅ You can continue using existing SNAP funds on your EBT card through October 31st, although it is unclear whether existing balances will remain available beginning Nov. 1st.
🔒 Protect your balance by locking your card when not in use.
We encourage Oklahomans to plan ahead, budget carefully, and look to local food banks and community programs such as Be A Neighbor OK for support if the shutdown continues.
Updates will be shared here and on https://oklahoma.gov/okdhs/shutdown
