The number of people in SNAP dropped by more than 13% in one year. SNAP is the largest U.S. food aid program.

Work rules and other parts of President Trump's 'one big beautiful bill' took effect. The drop was much bigger than the government expected.

Some people who lost benefits did not meet the stricter requirements.

But advocates say many people were denied because of paperwork problems, even though they were eligible.

Arizona had the biggest drop, with registrations falling 55% in one year.

The state explained that administrative problems during the new federal rules created real barriers for applicants.

Georgia, Louisiana, and Nevada also fell by more than 20%, and Florida dropped by 22%.

Florida's state government said this was the result of efforts toward economic independence.

The new work rules expand the old ones, which applied to adults up to age 54. Now people aged 55 to 64, and those with children aged 14 to 17, must work, volunteer, or go to school.

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

The Congressional Budget Office said enrollment would keep falling over the next 10 years. It will drop below 34 million by 2036.

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

Some food banks are increasing donations to meet rising demand. But they say it is hard to fully close the gap.
