In response to the federal government shutdown, North Dakota Health and Human Services issued a statement today in regards to the status of mandatory entitlement programs it administers.
"We'd like to let North Dakotans know that the federal government shutdown does not close state government. Mandatory entitlement programs administered by North Dakota Health and Human Services-including Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, WIC, and the Child Care Development Fund-are expected to continue without interruption," said HHS Commissioner Pat Traynor. "We will provide updates as more information becomes available, and we remain committed to our mission of helping North Dakotans live safe and healthy lives."
