Trump could cause 44,000 Mainers to lose food assistance

Maine Public Broadcasting -Officials from the Maine Department of Health and Human Services say more than 44,000 Mainers would lose food assistance under a rule change proposed by the Trump administration in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps. That's more than a quarter of all SNAP recipients in the state. DHHS says nearly half of those are children, older Mainers, and people with disabilities.
