NYC agencies and food pantries launch coordinated effort to help hungry New Yorkers who could lose SNAP benefits starting Monday

NYC agencies and food pantries are collaborating to assist New Yorkers at risk of losing SNAP benefits due to new work requirements under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The requirements mandate 80 monthly hours of work, volunteering, or training for Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDs), with non-compliant individuals facing benefit loss starting June 1. Over 40,000 ABAWDs remain non-compliant, prompting citywide outreach and support efforts.
