This morning the Trump administration issued a final rule ([link removed]) that would take basic food assistance away from nearly 700,000 of the nation’s most vulnerable people.
As CBPP President Robert Greenstein explains in a statement ([link removed]) , "those affected — SNAP participants ages 18 through 49 who aren’t raising minor children in their homes — are among the poorest of the poor."
He goes on to emphasize:
Most of these individuals are ineligible for any other form of government financial assistance because they aren’t elderly, severely disabled, or raising minor children. For many of them, SNAP is the only assistance they can receive to help make ends meet.
Denying people facing destitution basic food and nutrition is not the route a fair and compassionate administration of either party should take.
