Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has informed the State of Colorado that November 2025 SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits are being held.
All current recipients of SNAP benefits will receive an official letter from the Colorado Department of Human Services announcing the hold in the coming days. This hold affects all SNAP recipients statewide and is not a Gunnison County decision.
Gunnison County administers an average of approximately $218,000 in monthly SNAP benefits to about 695 households, representing more than 1,090 individuals in the community. The County recognizes how important these benefits are for local families and is closely monitoring the situation.
