SNAP Participation Dashboard

FRAC’s SNAP Participation Tracker compiles the most recent USDA data to show how enrollment has changed since January 2025 and where declines are occurring most sharply. It covers monthly participation through April 2026, highlighting the net change since the start of this presidential administration and the month-to-month shifts that reveal when and where people are losing access to food assistance.

Nearly 1 million people lost SNAP from January 2025 to July 2025; the steep decline after July is a direct result of the passage of the budget reconciliation law (H.R. 1). FRAC will update this tracker as new data are released and continue to add the latest state-by-state figures so policymakers and advocates can monitor the ongoing impacts in real time.

Notes:
