SNAP Enrollment Drops Sharply | Philadelphia News

from Philadelphia News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

SNAP enrollment has plunged by over 13% in just one year, with some states like Arizona seeing drops of more than 50%, driven by new federal work requirements that now force millions—including those up to age 64—to work, volunteer, or attend school to qualify. While advocates blame bureaucratic hurdles and not income levels, supporters see the decline as proof people are finding jobs. But looming financial penalties for error rates may push states to cut benefits, risking access to critical programs like school lunches—and raising alarms about unintended consequences for vulnerable populations.
