On December 5, 2019, the Trump Administration finalized a harmful rule that will take food assistance away from over 700,000 people struggling to find or sustain work, and require millions more to report their hours of work each week.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides food assistance to millions of low-income individuals and families. In addition to meeting nutrition needs, the program lifts people out of poverty and generates economic activity. Despite strong success, SNAP is frequently at risk. CLASP fights back against SNAP cuts as well as policies that restrict access to benefits. We also support state efforts to ensure more people get and keep the benefits for which they’re eligible. And we help states understand opportunities and requirements under SNAP Employment and Training programs, which combine nutrition assistance with job training services.
