Trump administration has pushed off 13% of Americans enrolled in food stamps

Enrollment in the US Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap) fell from 41.6 million in July 2025 to 36.5 million in June 2026, a 13% drop, according to the US Department of Agriculture. The decline followed restrictions under the One Big Beautiful Act. Republicans say the changes encourage work, while non-profit leaders say more people are turning to food banks or going hungry.
