Washington, DC-(Effingham Radio)- The Trump administration has proposed a new regulation that will further restrict SNAP eligibility for millions of Americans.
Over six-million households that receive cash assistance from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program would lose automatic eligibility for food stamps. Critics warn the change would impact nearly two-million children and “the working poor” who have “two to three jobs,” but just aren’t making enough to qualify.
More than five-and-a-half million people have already lost SNAP benefits since President Trump enacted cuts to the program in the One Big Beautiful Bill. It remains unclear when and whether the proposal will ultimately be enacted.
