Lisa Marie Fusco is a UC Berkeley student with disabilities who relies on SNAP.
She hasn't gotten her benefits for the month, but says she's been able to rely on the community around her.
But Fusco says she's scared for those who don't have a community to rely on in this time and feels expendable in the eyes of the government.
The California Department of Social Services says benefits may be further delayed as legal cases play out.
For NPR News, I'm Juan Carlos Lara in San Francisco.
I have other students that are sharing SNAP.
sharing what they have, sharing their food with me, sharing, you know, meals and things and supplies.
And there's like a really big community effort I'm seeing out here.
It's really amazing.
