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. Hunger is a policy choice and SNAP is our most effective anti hunger program and we must protect the Thrifty Food Plan in the Farm Bill. Thank you. (04:26–04:40)
