Food Aid at Risk as Costs Shift | Wilmington News
Description
Millions of Americans risk losing food assistance as a new law shifts costs to states starting October, forcing them to cover 75% of admin fees and later, benefits too—just as over 1.5 million kids have already been cut. Stricter work rules, higher age thresholds, and application hurdles are driving the decline, while food banks buckle under rising demand and families face impossible choices between rent and groceries. Advocates are pleading with Congress to delay the changes, warning states could face budget crises without time to adjust—lawmakers are set to return soon, with a Senate delay proposal still needing approval.
