Trump administration says SNAP recipients will have to reapply for benefits, prove ‘they can’t survive without it’

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins said the Trump administration will soon require millions of SNAP recipients to reapply for their benefits, citing an effort to eliminate fraud and abuse from the federal food assistance program. Rollins told Newsmax that the U.S. Department of Agriculture‘s efforts to collect data on SNAP enrollees from states will allow the agency to “fundamentally rebuild this program.” As part of that mission, the USDA will “have everyone reapply for their benefit” and “make sure […]

‘Breaking the law’: Governor Wes Moore slams Trump’s ‘temper trantrums’ over SNAP legal fight

Despite the historic 43-day government shutdown seemingly nearing an end, President Donald Trump continues to push back against a court order to fully fund SNAP for November, ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. The Trump administration took things further when the U.S. Department of Agriculture demanded that states “undo” attempts to fully disperse SNAP food assistance to enrollees amid the ongoing legal fight — or face fiscal retaliation. Governor Wes Moore, whose state of Maryland is among the 25 states challenging […]

President Donald Trump’s administration is demanding states “undo” full SNAP benefits paid out under judges’ orders last week, now that the U.S. Supreme Court has stayed those rulings, marking the latest swing in a seesawing legal battle over the anti-hunger program used by 42 million Americans. The demand from the U.S. Department of Agriculture came as more than two dozen states warned of “catastrophic operational disruptions” if the Trump administration does not reimburse them for those SNAP benefits they authorized […]

Why Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court decision on SNAP benefits is a temporary move

On Friday (Nov. 7), Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson ordered a temporary pause to the full release of Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits by the Trump Administration, a decision that was immediately critiqued and criticized on social media, given that 42 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits and payments had become a hot-button issue in the ongoing government shutdown. However, the move only pauses some payments until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit reconvenes and […]

Trump says no SNAP benefits will be provided until government reopens, creating confusion

In what appeared to be a major reversal, President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that no SNAP food assistance will be funded until the government reopens. The announcement seemed to violate court rulings from federal judges who ordered the federal government to use emergency funds to keep the program funded. On Monday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in a court filing, stated that it would disperse $4.65 billion in partial funding from a contingency fund but would not provide an […]
