The Trump administration will withhold certain Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding from nearly two dozen states led by Democrats if they don't provide personal information about the nutrition program's recipients, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

Rollins said in the televised meeting that money supplied by the federal government would be withheld starting next week from states that did not comply with the federal government's requests . The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) later clarified that only funds sent to assist with the administrative costs of the program, which are split between the agriculture department and states, would be withheld, not money for benefits themselves.
