Wisconsin DHS November FoodShare Updates
The federal government informed the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) that due to the federal shutdown, there is not enough funding to provide another month of food benefits unless the government reopens. This means that FoodShare members will not get their monthly benefits on time in November. Even if the shutdown ended tomorrow, for example, November benefits will be delayed.

Although timely November benefits will not be issued, FoodShare members may use any benefits currently on their QUEST card in November. The shutdown will need to end before members can start getting new benefits again. To be clear, benefits that are already on their card will not be removed because of the shutdown and members can continue to use their current benefits during the shutdown.

After the shutdown ends, DHS will work as quickly as possible to start issuing benefits again. WIC is not currently impacted by the shutdown. Any Wisconsinite who needs additional food or infant formula for their house or family can reach out to 211 for connections to local resources. Anyone can use 211 to get help by:
• Dialing 211 or 877-947-2211
• Visiting their website at 211wisconsin.communityos.org. Through the website, people can search for services or chat with someone online who can help.
• Texting their ZIP code to 89821

The current continuing resolution that authorizes funding for the U.S. government expired at midnight on September 30, 2025. Congress did not pass a new spending bill by the deadline, and the federal government is shut down as of October 1, 2025.

October FoodShare benefits will not be impacted. Members will continue to receive benefits as usual in October. Health care benefits through Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus programs will continue to be available during a government shutdown.

The Department of Health Services (DHS) has not received information regarding how the shutdown may impact future FoodShare and health care benefit issuances. DHS is monitoring this situation closely. Additional information will be shared about any impacts to future benefits with agencies as it becomes available.

Please be wary when you are downloading mobile apps. DHS has recently discovered a fake ebtEDGE mobile app in the app store. DHS has verified that it has been removed.

Check the Protect your Benefits page for tips and tricks to keep your card safe.

Scammers may be trying to steal FoodShare benefits by gaining access to your card data and personal information. You can help protect your benefits by choosing a secure personal identification number (PIN) and using all the QUEST card security features.
