SNAP Benefit Cuts Push Millions of Americans to Food Banks

More than five million people have lost their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits since President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill passed last year. The bill cut SNAP funding, expanded work requirements, and recently pushed more program costs to states. As a result, many more people are turning to food banks for support. The cuts have strained food banks and left vulnerable families struggling to put food on the table. Critics argue the changes disproportionately affect low-income households and communities of color. The long-term effects on food insecurity and public health remain to be seen. Stephanie Sy reports. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
