5.5 million people, including 2 million children, cut from SNAP in first year of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill
The Congressional Budget Office projected that the OBBBA would remove about 2.4 million people from the program once fully implemented. More than twice that number have been cut in a single year.
Number of People on Food Stamps Falls by 13% After One Big Beautiful Bill
The number of people on food stamps in the U.S. has fallen by 13% from 41.6 million people in July 2025, before the One Big Beautiful Bill Act took effect, to 36.5 million in June 2026. Advocates say more people are seeking help from food banks or going hungry. Currently, 47 million people, including one in five children, are living in food-insecure households nationwide.
The package of laws that President Trump dubbed ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ cuts hard into the right to food assistance. In Arizona, the consequences are significant: last year, some 500,000 people lost access to food allowances. Now, food banks are overwhelmed.
