CONNECTICUT (WTNH) — A day after Gov. Ned Lamont announced the release of SNAP benefits to recipients for the month of November, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has instructed states to “immediately undo” actions they’ve taken to send out full SNAP benefits.

Lamont announced Saturday that SNAP recipients now have full benefits loaded on their cards for the month of November.

He responded to the USDA's instruction on Sunday.

"No, Connecticut does not need to take back SNAP benefits already sent to the 360,000 people who count on SNAP for food and who should have never been caught in the middle of this political fight, Lamont said. "We continue to assesses what impact this memo may have but those who received their benefits should not worry about losing them, we have their back."
