Millions at Risk: GOP Bill Could Slash SNAP Benefits, Says CBO Report

This article examines how a recent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis indicates that over 3 million individuals could lose access to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits under a Republican-backed bill passed by the U.S. House. The legislation proposes stricter work requirements and shifts a portion of SNAP funding responsibilities to states, potentially adding $14 billion annually to state budgets. Critics argue that these changes would disproportionately affect low-income families, while proponents claim they promote fairness and fiscal responsibility.
