Ending BBCE would terminate SNAP for nearly 6 million people nationwide & would have harmful ripple effects, especially for families with children. Kids who are cut off SNAP would also lose automatic enrollment for free school meals & streamlined eligibility for WIC.

It’s wrongheaded & deeply unfair to leave people worse off when they try to get ahead. But that’s what this proposal would do: cut people off SNAP entirely because they earn a small raise or manage to save a bit to weather emergencies.

What we expect to see soon: A proposed rule that would gut broad-based categorical eligibility (BBCE), a longstanding policy 40+ states have adopted that allows people to earn slightly more & build modest savings without immediately being cut off SNAP.

As we and others have repeatedly reported, credible researchers have said there is no link between vaccines and autism.

NYC too
