More than 10,000 Kansas Children Lose Food Assistance in Wake of One Big Beautiful Bill Act
CBPP says the law cut federal SNAP funding by $186 billion through 2034 and pushed states to add barriers that removed eligible families.
- A new analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found that 728,492 children lost Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits across 12 states between July 2025 and April 2026, following President Donald Trump's signing of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'
- Signed July 4, 2025, the law cuts SNAP funding by $186 billion through 2034 while shifting operational costs to states, forcing agencies to implement new bureaucratic barriers that push eligible families off the program.
- Arizona authorities removed more than 200,000 children from welfare registers, a 55% reduction, while the Congressional Budget Office estimates 96,000 children per month will lose automatic eligibility for free school meals and summer EBT.
- "Children's learning will be disrupted and their health will be jeopardized," said Erin Hysom, a senior child nutrition policy analyst at the Food Research & Action Center, calling on Congress to delay the law's cost-shift provision by two years.
- Katie Bergh, a senior policy analyst at CBPP, emphasized that SNAP cuts have not "fully taken effect," warning recent losses are just the beginning unless Congress moves quickly to avert disaster.
