Over 4 million people are no longer on SNAP since last July

Since last July, participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has been steadily decreasing. This trend began after President Trump signed a significant piece of legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill. SNAP, which helps millions of Americans afford food, is seeing fewer people enrolled, which could be due to changes in eligibility or other factors influenced by the new law. This decline is important because it affects how many families can access the food they need, highlighting the impact of government policies on everyday lives. Understanding these changes can help us think about how to support those in need and the role of government assistance programs.
