Lorie Konish
Summary
A new analysis reveals that at least 3.5 million people (nearly 9% of beneficiaries) have lost access to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits as cuts from Trump's 'big beautiful bill' take effect. This comes amid rising grocery and gas costs, increasing inflation expectations according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's Survey of Professional Forecasters, and a "remarkable increase in food insecurity" reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Americans are facing the dual pressures of higher costs and reduced federal food assistance.
