Oregon families are starting to see their November food stamp benefits restored to their Oregon Trail Cards.
According to The Oregonian, Governor Tina Kotek said that Oregon Department of Human Services employees worked through the night to issue the funds.
On Thursday afternoon, a federal judge told President Donald Trump he must find the money to fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which has been threatened by the government shutdown.
The federal government appealed that decision, but the order prompted Kotek to tell the Oregon Department of Human Services to release full SNAP benefits for November.
More than 750,000 Oregonians rely on the food benefits.
