I have some things to note as a non-US:
1) 42 million people underfed in the richest nation in the world is worrisome
2) killing one person is headlines, killing millions is statistics. Today, replace killing with starving
3) people reached at the state to need SNAP because of other incidents (health issues, loss of job, bankruptcy) which are much more expensive to prevented
4) saying to millions just to reapply seems more like social bulling to bring cheels to the masses than an effective fraud measure
