Enrollment in SNAP grocery aid is dropping faster than expected
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has decreased by over 13% in the past year, with Arizona experiencing the largest drop of 55%. The decline is attributed to stricter work requirements and administrative challenges, leading to many eligible individuals losing benefits due to missed deadlines or documentation issues. The average monthly benefit is $344 per household, and the total number of recipients fell from 42.2 million to 36.6 million. Advocates express concern about the impact on families, particularly children, as food assistance becomes less accessible amid these changes.
