<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">What do you recommend people do if they are considering applying or need to renew their SNAP in October or November?</span></b><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black"><br>
<br>
Answer: Keep applying and renewing! ODHS is still open during the federal government shutdown. Even if we can't issue November SNAP benefits on time due to the federal government shutdown, we still need to hear from you so that we can process your renewals
and applications. That way you will get SNAP benefits as soon as we are able to resume issuing them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
