Older adults in the Chicago area are at risk this spring of losing food benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – or SNAP.
It comes after President Donald Trump’s 20-25 sweeping tax overhaul expanded work requirements for the program to include 55- to 64-year-olds.
A new WBEZ analysis finds a significant number of Chicagoans in this age group could be affected.
Here to break it down for us is Sun-Times reporter Elvia Malagon.
