USDA and Trump Administration Push for Increased SNAP Data Transparency
The USDA and the Trump Administration are taking significant measures to strengthen the oversight of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits by requiring states to provide detailed records on food stamp recipients. Secretary Rollins emphasized the importance of ensuring lawful use of federal funds and announced that states may be compelled to share personal data about SNAP beneficiaries. This move raises concerns about the privacy of individuals relying on these benefits, as states are now at risk of sharing sensitive information.
