SNAP enrollment plummeted 13% in just one year—far worse than expected—thanks to new federal work rules forcing even previously exempt groups like 55-64 year-olds to work, volunteer, or attend school to qualify. Administrative chaos, missed deadlines, and incomplete paperwork are also causing people to lose benefits. Arizona saw the steepest drop, over 50%, blaming overwhelmed state systems. As states face financial penalties for errors, some may cut benefits to avoid fines. Food banks are already feeling the strain, and kids losing SNAP may also lose free school meals—revealing how policy changes ripple through vulnerable communities.
