I have never had any changes due to federal troubles.
I believe the money is given by the federal government to the states to disburse, so if there is a shut down, it would probably have to be in affect for a while before it "trickles down" to the state level.

Here is a Star Trib article from the 2011 shutdown. During that one, they were halted. I haven't caught up on any weekend news, but hopefully they can get their $hit together and not shutdown.

Sorry for my info.......I don't have tv and haven't really paid super close attention to the news I guess. I heard people taking about it at the coffee shop the other day, and thought it was just at state level-cause ya know this state tends to do this every few years. Didn't realize it was federal level. So not sure if my info would be useful.

I don't take assistance, but I seem to remember during the last government shut down, that they were slow in getting payments. Blackcat might remember. I think she had assistance kids during the last one......maybe she'll chime in or you could pm her. I'll see if I can find the link from last time.
Any reimbursement payments for the food program will also be paid out as normal for this month.
Things MAY change IF the government remains shutdown for a longer length of time but as if now, ALL food program and CCAP payments will be made as normal.
