The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps, provides food assistance to over 42 million Americans. However, according to the BBC, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees the program, recently announced that “States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025.”
