It is 5.5% overall but an individual benefit can be cut much more than that. For a family of four getting $187 (common in my state) the $36 cut is significant. Not catastrophic, but significant.

I agree $36 in that example is significant, but I know here in NM as well as AZ and CA(not sure if it’s all states) EBT is taken by fast food restaurants.

Buying a few Subway, McDonald’s, KFC, Taco Bell or whatever type fast food meals can quickly eat up available EBT monies. I thought allowing fast food outfits to take EBT was a big mistake. Even a $4 Subway sandwich adds up by the time you add chips and a drink and all of that could be provided cheaper at home.
