SNAP

The federal government is still shut down, and that’s affecting national programs like WIC, a program that provides food and nutrition help to mothers and children up to five years old.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, will see changes after President Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” in early July.

The charitable organizations called food banks are getting a lot of attention and donations right now. But they aren't nearly as important or effective as SNAP, formerly known as food stamps.

The rule, which was to take effect April 1, would have tightened work requirements for some food stamp recipients. But a judge said flexibility in food aid is needed amid a pandemic.

The pending federal rule changes could push a million kids off free or reduced-price school meals, at least temporarily.

College students often struggle to make ends meet, and food insecurity is more common on campus than you might think. A new rule makes it even more challenging for some to get food stamps.

Friday is the last day for the public to comment on a proposed rule change by the Trump administration that would eliminate Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, or food stamps, for more than 3 million people.

The Trump administration has proposed changing food stamp rules to require able-bodied adults without children to work 20 hours or more a week or lose benefits.
