Impact of Lapse in Federal Food Assistance
A lapse in federal food assistance is expected to significantly impact millions of Americans, with over 40 million individuals affected by the cessation of SNAP funding.
According to Ash Center, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps, has stopped distributing funds for the first time in its 60-year history due to the ongoing government shutdown.
