Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell today issued the following statement after the Trump Administration demanded states reverse full SNAP benefits that were already issued following a court ruling in the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island.  
“Last week, a federal judge ordered the Trump Administration to fully fund SNAP, recognizing the additional delays and hardship the federal government caused with their decision to shortchange the program,” said AG Campbell. “Now that Massachusetts has issued full benefits – something the federal government should have done in the first place – the President is trying to claw back those resources from children, elderly, veterans, and people with disabilities who desperately need them. My office will not let this administration continue to use Massachusetts residents’ lives as a political bargaining chip. This chaos and confusion must stop. We’ll see them in Court.”
