✦AI Summary
Over 4 million people have lost access to SNAP food benefits since July, following the implementation of new work requirements and funding changes under the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.' Experts warn that further restructuring in October could lead to even greater food insecurity as states struggle with increased costs.
The largest food assistance program in the U.S. is undergoing a massive overhaul. But even before the most drastic changes take effect, more than 4 million people are estimated to have already lost the critical food aid between last July and April — many of whom are children.
