States Challenge SNAP Eligibility Changes

A coalition of 21 states, led by Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, is challenging the USDA over changes to SNAP eligibility guidelines that they claim unlawfully affect immigrants. This legal push back comes as the states argue that the new rules improperly restrict access to food assistance for certain immigrant families, potentially impacting their livelihood. The states are urging the USDA to revise the guidance, reflecting a significant legal dispute over federal benefits administration.
