Changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program may affect school meal programs. Experts say fewer US children could have access to free school meals due to these changes. The overhaul of the program, part of a tax-and-spending law, has already led to a significant number of people losing food stamps.

In households that receive food stamps, students are automatically eligible for free school meals. If a household loses SNAP benefits, their children may no longer qualify for free meals. Further details on the potential impact of these changes are available from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Local families in Miami may be affected by these changes, but specific information on the impact in the area is not provided. For more information, readers can consult the original source.
