More than two million Americans could lose SNAP benefits under Trump plan

(CNN, KYMA/KECY) - 2.4 million Americans could lose food stamps benefits in an average month due to the work requirements for some enrollees, according to a Congressional Budget Office analysis released Monday.

The law requires some parents of dependent children to work for their food stamp benefits for the first time.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, as food stamps are formally known, has long required certain able-bodied adults to work to receive benefits for longer than three months.

But the GOP's "big, beautiful bill" broadened that mandate to parents of dependent children, requiring those with kids ages 14 and older to work, volunteer, or participate in job training at least 80 hours a month.
