Register for MLRI & CW Justice Webinar on USDA's Harmful Proposed Rule to cut SNAP
Tell the Trump Administration #HandsOffSNAP:
USDA's proposed rule drastically limiting "categorical eligibility" would end SNAP for over 3.1M people nationally, and would severely restrict the ability of states like MA to have a higher initial gross income test and/or waive the low asset test for low income households.
MLRI and Gina Plata-Nino at Central West Justice Center are hosting a webinar to give an overview of what this extremely harmful proposed rule would mean in Massachusetts - and share what action you can take! The webinar will be Thursday, August 22 from 11 AM to Noon. Please register by clicking here.
