Refugees and Immigrants to Lose SNAP Benefits
Over 4,000 refugees and legal immigrants in Franklin County, Ohio, will lose access to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in November due to new federal restrictions.
These restrictions, approved under President Donald Trump's policies, limit SNAP eligibility to U.S. citizens and green card holders who have completed a five-year residency period.
- Certain Haitian and Cuban refugees will be exempt from the changes.
- Most other legal immigrants, including asylum seekers, parolees, domestic violence survivors, and human trafficking victims, will lose benefits.
County officials announced the changes this week, citing the new federal restrictions as the reason for the loss of benefits.
