HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) - Federal funding for SNAP food assistance could halt Saturday, leaving 360,000 Connecticut residents without new benefits on their EBT cards.

Gov. Ned Lamont said he is allocating $3 million to Connecticut Foodshare to help stock food pantries as the government shutdown continues. Hartford and local businesses are also contributing resources to address potential food shortages.

Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano came under renewed criticism this week for his work in the private sector, as the stock price of his former company Fiserv tanked upon the rescission of long-term growth projections that executives say were too optimistic.
