USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins confirmed that directive during a press conference, noting: "There is a contingency fund at USDA, but that contingency fund, by the way, doesn’t even cover half of the $9.2 billion required for November SNAP. And it’s only allowed to flow if the underlying program is funded."
