Interested in who gets SNAP benefits and how they work? Here's a detailed explainer from @TheConversationUS. "Nearly 60% of Americans enrolled in SNAP are either children under 18 or adults who are 60 or older. About 1 in 5 non-elderly adults with SNAP benefits have a disability," writes Tracy Roof, an associate professor of political science. "Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for SNAP. Only 4.4% of SNAP recipients in the 2023 fiscal year were immigrants who were not citizens but legally present in the U.S., such as refugees. The 'big' tax-and-spending package Trump signed into law on July 4, 2025, however, ended SNAP eligibility for most of those immigrants."
