SNAP Benefits Update: Trump Admin Says 'Everyone' Will Have To Reapply [View all]

The Trump administration has revealed plans to make all current SNAP recipients reapply for their benefits in an attempt to prevent fraud.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told Newsmax on Thursday the plan is to “have everyone reapply for their benefits, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through ... food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable and they can’t survive without it.” Newsweek has contacted the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for comment via email outside of regular working hours.

Why It Matters

SNAP benefits are paid out to around 42 million low- and no-income Americans to help them afford groceries.

It comes after the government shutdown, which ended this week, caused a lapse in federal funding for SNAP during the shutdown, which prompted President Donald Trump to question the program’s overall cost. SNAP spending totaled about $100 billion in fiscal year 2024.
