Jahana Hayes: “The average per person SNAP benefit would be roughly $7 less…”

“A majority of Americans support increasing funding for snap, not cutting it. The total cut to SNAP in related nutrition programs under the House Republican proposal is roughly $30 billion. The average per person SNAP benefit would be roughly $7 less per month between 2027 and 2031 and jump to $15 less per month in 2032 and 2033. According to the Budget and Policy Priorities, this cut would affect nearly 6 million older adults, 4 million people with disability and nearly 17 million children, including 5 million children under the age of 5.” (04:08–04:23)
