SNAP Recipients Will Need to Reapply for Benefits Trump Official Says

On Thursday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced the Trump administration will require millions of SNAP recipients to reapply for benefits.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the move is meant to root out alleged fraud and provide a platform to rebuild SNAP through a program overhaul.
Data review uncovered duplicate payments and unusual multi-state claims, with one man receiving benefits in six states, 500,000 people getting two SNAP payments, and about 120 Americans arrested.
More than 41 million Americans receive SNAP benefits averaging $187 each, but no details were announced on federal government versus state recertification systems.
After reviewing files from 29 red states, Brooke Rollins cited troubling records and said the president has made SNAP recertification a priority for the administration.
