DLHS Hour 1 | Twenty-Two States & D.C. File Lawsuit Against USDA

podcast August 5, 2025


Background

A coalition of 20 U.S. states plus Washington, D.C., has filed a federal lawsuit against the USDA over a new demand for personal data on SNAP recipients—asking for five years’ worth of names, birthdates, Social Security numbers, addresses, and immigration status. The states contend the request violates privacy laws, risks misuse for immigration enforcement and undermines trust that vulnerable families have in the program. The USDA argues the data is necessary to combat waste and fraud and has warned that non-compliance may result in losing SNAP funding.
