"States are starting to enforce expanded work requirements and other changes for people receiving aid from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP or food stamps."
"Those newly at risk of losing the benefit include able-bodied recipients aged 55-64, parents of children 14-17, veterans, people experiencing homelessness, and young people who are aging out of foster care."
"The changes are part of a 20% funding cut to the program under President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act last year."
"The NPR Network wants to hear from you about the threat of losing these benefits."
