SNAP time limits were already harmful. Expanding them means even more people can lose access to food assistance despite continued need. We are collecting stories to document the damage these policies cause. Share yours: https://t.co/qJ06i9Ffgt

Republicans claimed H.R. 1's deep SNAP cuts would "incentivize a more efficient & effective program," by which they apparently meant "forcing low-income families to go months without food assistance because they can't get through on overloaded phone lines or get help in person."

Families are losing SNAP because administrative barriers are growing, not because hunger is disappearing. FRAC’s blog breaks down how H.R. 1 is making it harder for eligible households to get help. https://t.co/FNF2Amqyzu

*Please read all of the information carefully.*

The South Carolina Department of Social Services (SCDSS) is implementing enhanced fraud-prevention measures to further safeguard Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients and protect their benefits. *This is meant to protect the funds on your EBT card, not to lock you out of your account.*

Security is not a single line item in the federal budget. It is the product of a society’s overall resilience: its health, its economic stability, and its capacity to withstand shocks. https://t.co/by4P9wuh9o via @foodtank

What happens when food assistance runs out but the need doesn’t?

That’s the reality SNAP time limits create for many people.

If you’re affected, we want to hear your story: https://t.co/qJ06i9Ffgt

For many families, spring break doesn’t mean a break. It means higher grocery bills, more stress, and tough choices.

School meals and SNAP help. But when schools close, the gap grows.

Here’s how we can fix it: https://t.co/YcxIq9x71o

National food security data helps the country see when hunger is rising, who is most affected, and whether policies are working.

That’s why protecting tools like the Food Security Supplement is critical.

Families should not have to choose between rent and groceries. #WhyILoveSNAP is that it helps families stay fed while managing work, caregiving, and rising costs.

Tell Congress to support families and repeal SNAP cuts: https://t.co/5PjFcEiryT
