5.5 million people lost SNAP food assistance in one year
Original: "About 5.5 million people lost food assistance through SNAP in the year since enactment of the 2025 reconciliation law."
Roughly 5.5 million people in the United States have lost food assistance through SNAP in the year since the 2025 reconciliation law was enacted, including about 2 million children. Critics point to the law's expanded work requirements, arguing the cuts push many people off the program without actually increasing employment or earnings, prompting renewed debate over the policy's real-world impact.
Why now: The one-year mark since the law's enactment has drawn attention to its measurable impact on food assistance rolls.
