Summary

The Trump administration moved to further limit SNAP eligibility, affecting millions, The NY Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on Tuesday 10 November. The rule would limit a policy that allows states to authorize participation in the program if a person qualifies for a different type of assistance, according to The NY Times, and the proposed regulation would eliminate an additional 6.3 million people from the largest federal anti-hunger program, particularly impacting the working poor, the Inquirer reported. About 6.3 million people could lose eligibility for SNAP by the 2029 fiscal year if the proposed change takes effect, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, on top of 5.5 million people who already have lost SNAP benefits over the past year, PBS NewsHour reported on Thursday 12 November.
