ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A Central Florida food bank is amplifying its cries against a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) proposal that aims to tighten up rules for who is eligible for food stamps.

Second Harvest Food Bank helps provide food for more than 700,000 people who use Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

The Trump Administration wants to stop assistance for people who get food stamps through other programs, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.

"Charitable sources cannot handle this alone. For every meal that we put out as an organization, SNAP puts out the equivalent of 9, so these cuts would have a dramatic impact," said Dave Krepcho of Second Harvest Food Bank.

The proposed rule is under an open comment period now. You can read the full rule and comment on it on the Federal Register website.

If the proposal goes through, more than three million people nationwide would lose their food stamps, including an estimated 230,000 Central Floridians.

In addition, the USDA estimates a net savings of more than $9 billion over five years.
