Nearly 300,000 Floridians set to lose SNAP benefits under federal legislation

A federal bill referred to as the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ would strip food assistance from roughly 300,000 Florida residents, according to reporting by the Gainesville Sun. The cuts are part of broader changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and come amid what the outlet describes as worsening hunger conditions across the state.
