Over 800,000 Kids Thrown Off SNAP Since Passage of GOP's Big Ugly Bill: Analysis

There are kids going to bed hungry tonight. I wish I could make them a sandwich. I wish I could do something to help them.

An analysis updated Monday by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimates that millions of people, including more than 800,000 children, have lost Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits since Republicans’ 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act took effect.

In total, CBPP estimates that “SNAP participation nationwide fell by more than 4 million people (10%) between the law’s July 2025 enactment and March 2026,” with declines “especially pronounced” in Arizona, which has seen enrollment fall by more than 50%.
