A 'hunger cliff' is looming for millions of Americans, with 32 states set to slash food-stamp benefits beginning in March.
February 10, 2023 / 5:00 AMA"hunger cliff" is looming for millions of Americans, with 32 states set to slash food-stamp benefits beginning in March.
The reductions are due to the end of so-called emergency allotments, which bolstered food-stamp benefits at the start of the pandemic as Americans grappled with the massive disruption to the economy. While the U.S. is certainly on more stable footing than in 2020, households are now struggling with high food costs — groceries were about 10% higher in December than a year earlier — making the timing of the SNAP cuts particularly challenging, experts say.
That means a family of four could see their monthly benefit cut by about $328 a month. The worst-hit could be elderly Americans who receive the minimum monthly benefit, Vollinger said. They could see their SNAP payments tumble from $281 to as little as $23 per month.
