Over 1 million children lose food benefits after Trump bill

More than 1 million children lost access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act took effect in July 2025, according to a Center on Budget and Policy Priorities analysis. Over 4 million Americans were removed from SNAP from July 2025 to March 2026, with Arizona experiencing the steepest decline. Mayors are urging Congress to reverse the cuts amid a deepening food security crisis.
