All SNAP recipients required to reapply as Trump admin cracks down on fraud: “Business as usual is over.”
Stolen benefits cost the government more than $102 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Monday the Trump administration will require all participants in the nation’s largest food assistance program to reapply for benefits in an effort to prevent fraud.
Recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which supports more than 40 million Americans, will need to demonstrate that their households still meet eligibility requirements to continue receiving benefits.
Rollins said SNAP, meant to be a lifeline for low-income households, was among the first priorities she targeted for review, citing concerns about eligibility and oversight.
“Business as usual is over. The status quo is no more,” Rollins said during an interview on “Mornings with Maria.”
