The Republican debt ceiling plan would cut SNAP benefits as millions of Americans are going hungry and living paycheck to paycheck. “Right now I don’t have anything in my refrigerator,” one single mother said — and her plight could get even worse.
The bill, led by South Dakota Rep. Dusty Johnson,, allowing only those with children under 7 to qualify instead of the current cutoff of 18. The legislation also would raise the maximum age like in the debt limit plan, but from 49 to 65 – a more drastic increase than McCarthy’s plan.
ParentsTogether Action, a nonprofit parent and family advocacy group that represents more than 3 million families, found that most households are already struggling to feed their children just one month after the benefits expired in all U.S. states in a survey first exclusively given to USA TODAY.
