– Welfare State Weakens… 30 Million Americans Are About To Lose ‘COVID’ Food Stamp Handouts:
Enhanced benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are set to expire at the end of February. The reduction in food stamps will impact more than 30 million Americans in 32 states — many of these folks will face a “hunger cliff.”
Bloomberg reported that once the enhanced benefits expire, families will receive at least $95 less per month. Some families could have a reduction of up to $250 per month.
Households with children will, on average, lose about $223 per month, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research and policy institute.
“Right now, people are really up against it.”
“There’s not a lot of cushions to absorb this,” said Ellen Vollinger, SNAP director at the Food Research & Action Center, an anti-hunger advocacy group.
