A family of 3 will have SNAP benefits reduced $29 per month effective November 1, 2013. This has nothing to do with the current fight about reducing food stamps. This is in addition to the cuts currently being sought by the GOP. It is because of a law that has been effective for some time (2009 Recovery Act).
Google "November 1 food stamp cuts" to read about this reduction. Some of the articles state how much the cut will be for other family sizes.
