The USDA's recent directive requiring states to provide personal data of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients has been temporarily halted. This decision follows a lawsuit asserting that the data collection violates federal privacy laws. The USDA's request included sensitive information such as names, Social Security numbers, and addresses, supported by a presidential executive order aimed at consolidating federal data. Advocacy groups have voiced concerns over potential misuse of personal data, particularly relating to privacy violations and immigration enforcement.
The USDA's directive for states to turn over sensitive SNAP recipient data is currently on hold amid privacy law concerns and a pending lawsuit.
The USDA's demand for SNAP recipient personal data raised alarms about privacy violations, prompting legal action by a coalition of advocacy groups.
