Trump administration moves to drop millions from SNAP under proposal

The Trump administration on Tuesday moved to kick millions of people from SNAP -- commonly known as food stamps -- and other government assistance programs for vulnerable families, according to a new proposed rule by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 

An impact analysis by USDA estimates that over 6 million people could lose Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits and roughly 2 million would be eliminated from receiving free school meals if families don't fit new income eligibility requirements.
