A Food Stamps/SNAP - Richmond, Virginia Emergency Nutrition Assistance (VENA), Virginia Department of Social Services
November 14, 2025: Following new federal guidance, the Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) will issue full November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to all eligible households as outlined below:
WHO WHAT WHEN
Households that did not receive a VENA benefit. This would apply to households that were approved for SNAP benefits after October 29.
SNAP benefits will be issued all at once.
Saturday, Nov. 15
Households that received a VENA benefit in November and a partial SNAP benefit on Thursday, Nov. 13.
Households will receive the remaining amount of their regular monthly SNAP benefit. This benefit amount is the difference between the partial SNAP benefit already received and the household's normal monthly issuance. Tuesday, Nov. 18
December benefits are expected to return to the normal issuance schedule (on the 1st, 4th, or 7th day of the month). With the end of the federal shutdown, VDSS does not anticipate any further disruptions to SNAP benefits in 2025. Virginia Emergency Nutrition Assistance (VENA), which was launched by Governor Glenn Youngkin to provide critical state-funded emergency food assistance during the federal shutdown, will no longer be provided at this time.
As a reminder, SNAP customers are strongly encouraged to keep their EBT card locked through the ConnectEBT website or app when not in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
