(Annapolis, MD) -- The Maryland Department of Human Services says SNAP changes that took effect in November of 2025 have left nearly 36,000 residents without benefits.
Those who lost benefits include more than 12,000 people 55 to 64-years old, around 12,000 families with children between the ages of 14 and 17 and more than 11,000 people who are homeless.
Governor Wes Moore says his administration is working to help Marylanders keep or get back their benefits.
“Despite unprecedented federal attacks on the services our communities rely on for their wellbeing, we’re fighting back against H.R. 1 to ensure Maryland families have access to their food assistance," said Gov. Moore. “Our administration is working to remove federal red tape and connect eligible Marylanders to SNAP benefits. Our efforts are working; and we remain committed to protecting our people in these difficult times, so families don’t go hungry. ”
