NEW YORK (WABC) -- The nation's longest government shutdown has ended, but Americans have been dealing with the consequences for weeks and it will take some time to get things back to normal, including for residents across the Tri-State.
Federal workers are now waiting for their backpay, airline passengers continue to face delays and cancellations, and nearly 42 million Americans who depend on SNAP benefits are looking forward to those being restored.
The FAA cuts have caused disruptions at the major New York City-area airports since Friday.

Schumer says Republicans now 'own' health care crisis
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer argued on Monday that Republicans are now to blame for rising health care costs after Affordable Care Act subsidies were not included in the bipartisan deal to reopen the government.
"The American people have now awoken to Trump's health care crisis. Health care is once again at the forefront of people's minds. People now see that premiums are about to skyrocket. They're terrified about how they're going to pay for their insurance," Schumer said on the Senate floor. "Democrats demanded that we find a way to fix this crisis and quickly, but Republicans have refused to move an inch. So, I cannot support the Republican bill that's on the floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America's health care crisis."
"Doing nothing is unacceptable, but that's the choice the Republican side made in obeisance to Donald Trump," Schumer added. "Republicans now own this health care crisis. They knew it was coming. We wanted to fix it. Republicans said no, and now it's on them."

Speaker Johnson says House will return to Washington for voting on shutdown deal
Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday that House lawmakers should start returning to Washington "right now" after a small group of Senate Democrats broke a 40-day stalemate late Sunday evening and voted with Republicans to move forward with legislation that would end the government shutdown.
It is unclear when the Senate will hold final votes on the legislation. But Johnson said the "nightmare is finally coming to an end" after the Senate voted 60-40 to consider a compromise bill to fund the government.
"We have to do this as quickly as possible," Johnson said at a news conference Monday morning. He has kept the House out of session since mid-September, when the House passed a bill to continue government funding.

States are fighting attempt to freeze SNAP benefits
The latest rulings give some relief to the Democratic-controlled states that started making full SNAP payments before the Supreme Court nixed them Friday.
Wisconsin, which was among the first to load full benefits after McConnell's order, had its federal reimbursement frozen. As a result, the state's SNAP account could be depleted as soon as Monday, leaving no money to reimburse stores that sell food to SNAP recipients, according to a court filing submitted by those that had sued.
Some Democratic governors vowed to challenge any federal attempt to claw back money.
In Connecticut, Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont said "those who received their benefits should not worry about losing them."
"No, Connecticut does not need to take back SNAP benefits already sent to the 360,000 people who depend on them for food and who should have never been caught in the middle of this political fight," Lamont said. "We have their back."
