The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced on Saturday that food stamps will not be issued next month due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.


The shutdown, which is the second longest, entered its 26th day.


The Senate has not passed the House bill to continue government funding.


"Bottom line, the well has run dry," the USDA said on its website. "At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01."
