The Trump administration unveiled a final rule that will require more food stamp recipients to work in order to receive benefits and could result in hundreds of thousands of people losing assistance, the USDA says
The new requirement limits states' ability to waive existing work mandates and could result in 688,000 people losing assistance, according to the US Department of Agriculture. The move is one of three Trump administration efforts to overhaul the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, as the food stamp program is formally known.
9 million of these recipients in 2018 and nearly 74% of them were not employed, according to the agency.Currently, states can waive the work requirement for areas where unemployment is at least 10% or there is an insufficient number of jobs, as defined by the Department of Labor.
