Trump's proposed changes to food stamps could affect 3.7 million Americans

• SNAP participation would fall by at least 15% in 13 states, and 24% in Washington, D.C.
• Almost 75% of households with gross income above 130% of the federal poverty guidelines would lose SNAP eligibility.
• Roughly half a million households with children would lose eligibility, and 1.1 million would incur an average of $28 less in benefits.
• 1 million households with children would have an average of $13 more in benefits.

What they're saying: A bipartisan coalition of 70 mayors stated their "strong opposition" to the administration's proposed restrictions in August, warning changes to the program would harm local and regional economies.

Background: The administration has proposed three core SNAP restrictions:

1. Limiting states' ability to request time limit waivers for able-bodied adults.
2. Tightening residents' ability to become automatically eligible for food stamps if they receive benefits from another federal program.
3. Setting uniform standard utility allowances.

Methodology: The study measured the possible effects of Trump's proposed regulations on households from 2018.
