“The federal government’s latest assault on vulnerable individuals is cruel to its core. Denying access to vital SNAP benefits would only push hundreds of thousands of already vulnerable Americans into greater economic uncertainty. In so doing, states will have to grapple with rising healthcare and homelessness costs that will result from this shortsighted and ill-conceived policy,” said New York AG Letitia James.
AG James together with District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine led the coalition in filing the lawsuit to stop the USDA from implementing its plan to limit access to food stamps.
