AG Kaul sues Trump administration over SNAP recipients’ data

Attorney General Josh Kaul is suing the Trump administration over demands for SNAP recipients’ data. In May, the United States Department of Agriculture requested personal information, including Social Security numbers and addresses, from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients. Kaul says sensitive information about people shouldn’t be turned over to the federal government simply because they applied for or received SNAP assistance. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins has said the request is to make sure SNAP is preserved for only people who are eligible. Kaul is joining AGs from 21 other states seeking to block the Trump administration from making the demands.
