People with disabilities in Connecticut are at heightened risk from the upcoming SNAP benefit cuts, even though they are technically exempt from new federal work requirements. Under the changes taking effect in November 2025, Connecticut households that include a person with a disability could still lose an average of nearly $200 a month in food assistance due to reduced federal funding. While the state’s SNAP rules allow higher income limits for households with disabled members, the overall reduction in funds—about $11 million to $15 million less per month statewide—will strain resources and increase food insecurity for those already facing higher living and medical costs. Advocates warn that people with disabilities, who often depend more heavily on consistent access to food, transportation, and specialized diets, may be among the most affected groups if Connecticut cannot offset the federal cuts.
