So, my first question is why hasn't it been an issue before? Was the timing so that they wouldn't miss a payment? Or was there a vote to make an exception for snap? Not in favor of this at all, I just don't understand the mechanisms of a lot of this.

    The USDA maintains an emergency fund for situations like this. This time they're saying they can't use it, and it's gone to the courts.
