Among the most immediate impacts is loss of food stamps for more than 40 million Americans currently enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, referred to as SNAP.
“These vital benefits, that average around $6 a day, are for many families the difference between going hungry and getting by. They’re not an extra benefit. They are incredibly essential to the lives of many, many Minnesotans,” said Tikki Brown, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families.
Brown warned of widespread impact when this vital food assistance comes to a halt for more than 440,000 SNAP recipients in her state — 40% of whom are children.
