Trump Admin Demands SNAP Payout Reversal, States Warn of Catastrophic Impact
The Trump administration is now demanding states reverse full SNAP benefits paid out after a legal battle over the anti-hunger program, following a Supreme Court stay on lower court rulings. The Department of Agriculture considers the payments unauthorized and warned states could face penalties for non-compliance. Over two dozen states have warned of “catastrophic operational disruptions” if the administration does not reimburse them for these benefits. Several states, like Massachusetts and Wisconsin, have stated that they will not comply with the directive and will fight it in court.
