More November grocery help for Marianas households
The law provides $1 million from a preliminary distribution of Marianas Public Land Trust income for November 2025 grocery benefits. Eligible Nutrition Assistance Program households in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands receive proportional shares. This money supplements USDA funding covering 50% of full November 2025 benefits. The Secretary of Finance manages spending with the local program administrator. Funds can only pay these household benefits. The funding authority ends after the last November 2025 benefit distribution, even if payments occur later.
