According to Al Jazeera, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has unveiled a proposed rule aiming to eliminate the arrangement that automatically grants SNAP food assistance eligibility based on meeting TANF-related conditions, while opening a 30-day public comment period. Citing USDA estimates, the report noted that the adjustment could cause approximately 6.3 million people to lose their SNAP eligibility, accounting for about 17% of beneficiaries. This currently stands as a proposal and impact estimation.
