The White House’s fiscal year 2018 budget blueprint proposed approximately $193 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) over 10 years. SNAP is one of the most powerful tools we have to end childhood hunger in America. The White House budget proposal also called for changes to the cost-sharing of the program with states. As No Kid Hungry’s Lucy Melcher emphasizes in this piece, states are grappling with their own budget shortfalls, and this proposal could incentivize states to reduce SNAP benefits for those in-need. 43 percent of households receiving SNAP benefits have kids, and undermining access to SNAP benefits would have a negative impact on their health, education, and ability to succeed.
