D.C. Memo: Food stamp enrollment falls after GOP places limits

Food stamp enrollment in the U.S. dropped by over 4 million people after new restrictions under a law enacted in July 2025. Minnesota's participation fell 3.55%, with a 12.58% error rate in SNAP payments, exceeding the federal threshold of 6%. The law requires states with high error rates to cover part of the program's cost, and the Senate's draft farm bill excludes a Democratic proposal to reverse this requirement.
