【Latest News: 2.4 Million Americans May Lose Food Assistance】
On November 15, 2025, in Washington, the U.S. version of "Politico" stated in a press release:
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins instructed U.S. Department of Agriculture staff to continue pressuring states to comply with the Republican-signed tax and spending law during the record 43-day government shutdown. It is expected that in the coming months, this will exclude millions of people from the country's largest hunger program.
Rollins said she plans to require all coupon recipients to reapply for the fraud prevention program. Approximately 42 million U.S. residents benefit from it, receiving an average of $6 in food assistance per day, of which 40% are children. States have already started notifying beneficiaries that their work activities will be subject to new and stricter requirements, requiring compliance within three months, otherwise they will completely lose the right to receive benefits. According to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office, the new regulations could cause about 2.4 million people to lose food assistance.
