Government Shutdown Affects UI Students
The current federal government shutdown has significant implications for some University of Iowa students, particularly those relying on federal assistance programs.
The shutdown resulted from a budget impasse between Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. Senate, which failed to pass a federal budget for the new fiscal year. Lawmakers are divided over government spending levels on programs such as healthcare and foreign aid, leaving many agencies without approved funding.
Students like Elsa Juarez, a single mother of two, are feeling the effects of the shutdown. Juarez relies on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to cover basic living costs.
The shutdown is impacting her ability to cover basic living costs.
