"Some 42 million Americans rely on SNAP to feed themselves, a majority are children or adults over age 60."
"This is the first shutdown to ever disrupt SNAP payments, which are a critical anti-poverty program."
"Zoom in: "SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden's disastrous term in office," Trump said on Truth Social, "... will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government.""
Approximately 42 million Americans depend on SNAP for food, with most beneficiaries being children or adults over 60. A government shutdown has interrupted SNAP payments for the first time, halting a central anti-poverty program and creating immediate food-security risks. A public statement characterized recent SNAP increases as having risen by billions during the Biden administration and asserted that benefits will be released only when Democrats reopen government. The payment disruption threatens low-income households and elderly recipients who rely on regular assistance. Federal and state agencies face urgent administrative and policy choices to address gaps and prevent widespread hardship.
