A lawsuit claims the USDA's request for personal data from food stamp recipients breaches privacy laws. The USDA requires states to provide extensive information, including names and Social Security numbers, which could be used for immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. The plaintiffs, which include SNAP recipients and advocacy groups, argue that the USDA failed to follow required federal procedures for data collection. The lawsuit seeks to block the data sharing until proper protocols are established, highlighting concerns about privacy and compliance with the Privacy Act.
The USDA's recent directive requiring states to share personal data of SNAP recipients has sparked a lawsuit, arguing it infringes federal privacy laws.
