City of Flint responds to federal judge ruling that federal government must continue snap payments

FLINT, Mich. – In response to the ruling by a federal judge that the Trump administration must continue to pay SNAP benefits past the November 1 deadline, the City of Flint continues to move forward with its plan to ensure SNAP recipients and affected federal employees will not go without food assistance in the event that payments are not continued.

“We will continue to move forward with our plan to provide food security for our affected residents in the event that payments are, for whatever reason, not paid,” said Mayor Sheldon Neeley. “We hope that the federal government honors the court’s decision to continue payments, but will be ready if they do not.”

The City of Flint will continue to update the residents with information on this situation as it unfolds. Residents can visit the City of Flint’s website (cityofflint.com) or follow the City of Flint Facebook page for the latest updates.
