Two judges have stepped in over the federal government suspension of food-aid benefits for tens of millions of Americans set to end on Nov. 1 amid the shutdown.
On Friday, US District Judge John McConnell of Rhode Island announced that he would order the US Department of Agriculture to distribute a pool of contingency funds "as soon as possible."
While minutes before, Boston US District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the US government must announce by Nov. 3 whether they would authorize at least partial funding for the program using around $6 billion in contingency funds - and if so, when will they do it.
