- Staged statutory implementation and attributed participation analysis
Implementation dates varied by state as the 2025 law expanded work requirements and narrowed exemptions. CBPP estimated from USDA and state data that participation fell by roughly five million people between July 2025 and May 2026, while acknowledging anomalous data, provisions not yet fully in effect and other possible factors. The estimate is advocacy-group analysis, not a finding that every decline was caused by the law.
