The U.S. Department of Agriculture has introduced a new proposal that would tighten income eligibility requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps. The measure aims to restrict access to federal assistance for vulnerable families, potentially impacting millions of current beneficiaries.
An impact analysis conducted by the USDA projects that more than 6 million individuals could lose their SNAP benefits under the new guidelines. Additionally, the department estimates that approximately 2 million people would no longer qualify for free school meal programs.
