Enrollment in SNAP, the largest U.S. federal food assistance program, has dropped by more than 13% in one year.

미국 최대 연방 식품 지원 프로그램인 SNAP 등록자가 1년 만에 13% 이상 줄었습니다.

As work requirements and other parts of President Trump's 'one big beautiful bill' took effect, the decline was much larger than the government expected.

트럼프 대통령의 ‘하나의 크고 아름다운 법안’에 포함된 근로 요건과 다른 조항이 시행되면서 감소 폭이 정부 예상보다 훨씬 컸습니다.

Some people who lost benefits failed to meet the stricter requirements.

혜택을 잃은 사람 중에는 강화된 요건을 충족하지 못한 경우도 있습니다.

But advocates say many cases were denied due to paperwork issues, even though people were eligible.

그러나 옹호자들은 자격이 있음에도 서류 문제로 거부된 사례도 많다고 말합니다.

Arizona saw the biggest drop, with enrollment falling 55% in one year.

애리조나가 가장 큰 감소를 기록했으며, 1년 만에 등록자가 55% 급감했습니다.

The state said administrative problems during the rollout of new federal rules created real barriers for applicants.

주정부는 새로운 연방 요건을 시행하는 과정에서 행정적 장애가 발생해 신청자에게 실질적인 장벽이 생겼다고 설명했습니다.

Georgia, Louisiana, and Nevada also saw drops of over 20%, while Florida fell by 22%.

조지아, 루이지애나, 네바다에서도 20% 이상 줄었고, 플로리다에서는 22% 감소했습니다.

Florida officials said this was the result of efforts toward economic self-sufficiency.

플로리다 주정부는 이를 경제적 자립을 위한 노력의 결과라고 밝혔습니다.

The new work requirements expand the old rules, which applied to adults aged 54 and under.

새 근로 요건은 54세 이하 성인에게 적용되던 기존 규정을 확대했습니다.

Now people aged 55 to 64, and those with children aged 14 to 17, must work, volunteer, or attend school.

이제 55~64세와 14~17세 자녀를 둔 사람도 일하거나 자원봉사하거나 학교에 다녀야 합니다.

People aged 65 and older, those with children under 14, and people with health limits remain exempt.

65세 이상, 14세 미만 자녀를 둔 사람, 건강상 제한이 있는 사람은 계속 면제됩니다.

Some exempt groups, including homeless people, are no longer exempt.

노숙자를 포함한 일부 면제 그룹은 더 이상 면제 대상이 아닙니다.

The Congressional Budget Office predicted that enrollment would keep falling over the next 10 years, dropping below 34 million by 2036.

의회예산국은 향후 10년간 등록이 계속 줄어 2036년에는 3400만 명 아래로 떨어질 것으로 예상했습니다.

However, it did not expect such a rapid decline.

그러나 이처럼 빠른 감소는 예상하지 못했습니다.

Advocacy groups worry that cutting SNAP will create a gap that other support, like school meals or food banks, cannot fill.

옹호 단체들은 SNAP 축소가 학교 급식이나 푸드뱅크 같은 다른 지원으로는 메울 수 없는 공백을 만들 것이라고 우려합니다.

Some food banks are increasing donations to meet rising demand, but they say fully closing the gap is difficult.

일부 푸드뱅크는 수요 증가에 대응해 기부를 늘리고 있지만, 격차를 완전히 해소하기는 어렵다고 보고 있습니다.
