As SNAP benefits resume, many enrollees face new challenges due to expanded work requirements that could lead to the loss of assistance for thousands across various states. With a significant number of workers relying on SNAP, reports indicate that over 2.4 million individuals could be at risk of losing benefits under the latest federal guidelines. Studies and regional analyses reveal that these new rules disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, including older adults and non-disabled workers without children, raising concerns about food insecurity and economic stability. Meanwhile, discussions on reforming this assistance program continue as government agencies assess the implications of these changes on communities and their economies.
