One year post-OBBB, 4 million have lost SNAP benefits.
This isn’t due to a stronger economy; it’s from cuts affecting households.
New hurdles, confusion over eligibility, and stricter policies are the culprits. Work requirements now include everyone up to 64 years old—previously set at 54—with exemptions removed for veterans, people experiencing homelessness, refugees, asylum seekers, and some special visa holders.
To top it off, the USDA is raising privacy concerns by demanding more household data from states while changing retailer EBT requirements.

More than 4 million people have already lost #SNAP benefits following the passage of H.R.1, the admin's landmark bill last year.
These changes have uprooted the safety net and created shockwaves for the national food system.
