Oct. 16 — BELTRAMI COUNTY — Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, Beltrami County has announced that both pending and new applications for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will not be approved until further notice due to the suspension of federal funding.
“We understand the impact this may have and are committed to keeping you informed as the situation evolves,” a release said. “You may still apply for SNAP benefits during this time. County staff will continue to accept applications, gather verifications, and complete interviews so cases can be processed when federal funding resumes.”
This situation is changing rapidly. County staff will share updates as new information becomes available.
