A change in the rules governing the country’s food stamp program could cause 700,000 Americans to lose their benefits. That number is expected to be in the thousands in Arizona.

The Trump administration this spring plans to change eligibility for certain recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, which could cause some people who currently get benefits to no longer receive them.

Angie Rodgers, president and CEO of the Arizona Food Bank Network, joined The Show to talk about the possible impact of this new rule will have in Arizona.
