Thanks to President Trumps One Big Beautiful Bill, cuts to the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, have now gone into effect.
With these cuts, an estimated 2.4 million Americans in an average month will lose their food stamp benefits, according to the Congressional Budget Office [1].
Making matters worse, Urban Institute found that these cuts would mean 22.3 million U.S. families will lose some or all of their SNAP benefit, which provides basic food assistance to more than 40 million Americans in a typical month.
Urban Institute's research also found that, of the 22.3 million affected families, 5.3 million families would lose at least $25 per month in benefits and for those families, the average lost benefit would be around $146 per month, or $1,752 per year [2].
