Back to EpisodesFood Stamp Work Rules: No Job Boost, Just Less Aid
Description
New analysis from the Hamilton Project reveals that food stamp work requirements dont boost employment, but rather reduce participation in the SNAP program. States are implementing these changes, leading to a decrease in SNAP enrollment nationwide. Experts argue that SNAP should focus on hunger relief, not job training. The law also cuts nutrition education funding and ends eligibility for refugees and asylees. With states picking up more costs and Republicans backing it as smart reform, expect more drops in aid and bigger questions on hunger safety nets.
