"Twenty-nine states said yes, not surprisingly, the red states, and that's where all that data, that fraud, comes from,"
"But 21 states including California, New York, and Minnesota-blue states-continue to say no. So as of next week, we have begun and we will begin to stop moving federal funds into those states until they comply."
The administration instituted a new requirement for states to provide SNAP recipient data, asserting the request was intended to root out fraud. Twenty-nine states complied, described as mostly red states, while 21 states including California, New York, and Minnesota refused. The department announced plans to stop moving federal funds into noncomplying states. Nearly 42 million people receive SNAP assistance. Multiple states and Washington, D.C. sued to block the requirement as arbitrary and capricious, and a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against enforcement. Concerns arose about personal data traveling across agencies and potential targeting of undocumented immigrants.
