1.) Government shutdown: SNAP benefits for 360,000 people statewide and 1,535 individuals in Greenwich are uncertain.

2.) H.R. 1 (the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”) As of November the policy changes due to the passage of H.R. 1 are having widespread impact ranging from loss of benefits due to changes in work requirements and other measures. In Greenwich - 223 families are expected to lose $25+/monthly benefits.
