Governor Steve Sisolak is signing on to a letter – along with 16 other governors representing 149 million Americans – to voice opposition to a proposed rule change by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, that could negatively impact more than 46,000 Nevadans who currently receive benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. This rule would effectively eliminate Broad-Based Categorical Eligibility and impose a resource test on all SNAP applications. This would result in an estimated 11% reduction in those who qualify in Nevada. Governor Sisolak calls its an absolutely unconscionable act, that would have dire impacts on the most vulnerable populations in our state, especially those with disabilities, the elderly, and low-income children.
