US Proposes Food Stamp Cuts for Millions
The USDA proposed a rule to curb automatic food stamp eligibility, potentially cutting benefits for 6.3 million Americans and 1.8 million children. The changes aim to standardize the program but face sharp criticism.
The United States administration moved on Tuesday afternoon to cut 6.3 million people from food stamps, curbing automatic eligibility rules. The proposed change follows previous cuts that have already removed 5.5 million participants from the federal nutrition program since July 2025. The reduction threatens broader food aid access for families and highlights tightening federal welfare expenditures.
