According to CNBC, the Trump administration proposed a rule that could end food stamp benefits for about 6.3 million people. The U.S. Department of Agriculture proposal would curb automatic eligibility for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits among households receiving cash assistance through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program. An agency analysis estimated that nearly 18% of SNAP recipients would lose benefits under the rule, which would also make an estimated 1.8 million children ineligible for free school lunches. The public will have 30 days to comment. More than 5.5 million people have already lost SNAP benefits since President Donald Trump enacted cuts in his July 2025 tax law, leaving enrollment at about 36 million, according to USDA data.
