    Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act already eliminated almost $187bn in funding for Snap through 2034, according to a congressional budget office estimate.

    Snap participants generally must be at or below 130% of the federal poverty line. The average participant receives about $187 a month, the center reports.

    The Department of Agriculture recently sent a letter to regional Snap directors warning them that funding for Snap will run out at the end of the month and directing them to hold payments “until further notice”.
