House GOP leaders are set to vote on a significant $230 billion reduction to federal nutrition programs, including SNAP, which assists around 42 million Americans. These cuts, proposed to support President Trump's agenda, may particularly impact predominantly Republican states with high SNAP enrollment. A crucial component of the proposed changes would raise work requirements for nondisabled adults without dependents from age 54 to 64. While proponents argue this aims to curb wasteful spending, critics express concern that these measures could hinder families' ability to access essential food resources amidst rising grocery prices.
"One of the nation's largest social safety net programs could see major changes as President Donald Trump looks to fund his agenda. It's most popular in red states."
"The most significant policy change the House Agriculture Committee has suggested would require nondisabled adults without dependents to fulfill work requirements until they reach age 64 to qualify for aid."
