Trump Proposes 62-75% Cut to WIC Fruit and Vegetable Benefits

The Trump administration proposed cutting WIC fruit and vegetable cash-value vouchers by 62 to 75 percent, reducing the benefit from $26 per month to as low as $6 for most participants. The proposal affected roughly 6.7 million low-income women, infants, and children who rely on WIC for nutritional support. USDA framed the cut as a budget-efficiency measure under reconciliation instructions from Congress.
