MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — A one-word response from Tony Evers.
“No.” That was the response from the Democratic governor on Sunday, after the Trump Administration suggested Wisconsin should return FoodShare payments to the federal government.
On Saturday, Wisconsin and other states filed a letter asking a federal appellate court to reject a last-ditch effort to pull back SNAP payments. After the letter was filed, states received correspondence from the Trump Administration suggesting states “must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025.”
Nearly 700,000 Wisconsinite FoodShare recipients had their November benefits loaded onto their cards on Friday, and Evers said his administration is actively fighting efforts to rescind those payments.
