Trump orders freeze on federal grants, loans. Will this affect SNAP?

This order goes into effect tonight at 5pm. I can't figure out if SNAP will be impacted, but if it is, it seems like it could cause major problems for families nationwide.

Does anyone else know more about this and how likely it is to disrupt food benefits for the most at risk?

• UPDATE*

Guidance that says SNAP will not pause: https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/01/923/

(From u/mae_b_tomorrow)

I’m watching the press release. They just announced SNAP is considered direct assistance and will not be impacted. Same with WIC, TANF, childcare subsidies, etc. It’s still unclear if programs like meals on wheels will be impacted.

One of the things they stated is that they are going after programs that push ‘wokeness.’ This isn’t measurable or defined, so hopefully we know more soon.

Here is the press briefing I referenced. Time stamp is around the 49 minute mark and lasts a little over 5 minutes where they discuss the freeze and who is and is not impacted.

Of course take it all with a grain of salt. From their track record it’s not like we can take this administration at their word. And the targeting of the trans community is extremely alarming.
