The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the largest anti-hunger initiative in the U.S., is facing changes that could impact many recipients. These changes include expanded work requirements and other adjustments, potentially affecting able-bodied individuals aged 55-64, parents of teenagers, veterans, homeless individuals, and young adults leaving foster care. These modifications stem from a 20% funding cut under President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. NPR is seeking input from those affected by these changes, including state employees and those working in food assistance, to understand the impact on their lives and future plans.
