UU., emiti\u00f3 hoy la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n advirtiendo que los datos preocupantes del USDA resaltan la posibilidad de que el Programa de Asistencia Nutricional Suplementaria ( SNAP) podr\u00eda quedarse sin fondos antes de que finalice este a\u00f1o fiscal:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIncluso antes de que llegara el coronavirus, mantener la comida en la mesa y en las loncheras de los ni\u00f1os era una lucha diaria para cientos de miles de habitantes de Oreg\u00f3n y millones de estadounidenses en todo el pa\u00eds. Para los 43 millones de estadounidenses que reciben beneficios SNAP, este programa marca la diferencia entre irse a la cama con el est\u00f3mago lleno o vac\u00edo. Pero ahora, sin m\u00e1s fondos para SNAP, corremos el riesgo muy real de que este salvavidas no est\u00e9 disponible para cuando termine el a\u00f1o fiscal. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEl super\u00e1vit proyectado por el Departamento de $2 mil millones a fines de septiembre supone que la participaci\u00f3n en SNAP se mantendr\u00e1 sin cambios durante el resto del a\u00f1o fiscal. Esa suposici\u00f3n es peligrosamente err\u00f3nea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSolo de marzo a abril de este a\u00f1o, 6 millones de personas volvieron a ser elegibles para SNAP. Dado que el virus a\u00fan no est\u00e1 contenido en Estados Unidos, a diferencia de los pa\u00edses que han gestionado la respuesta a la pandemia de manera m\u00e1s competente, se espera que ese n\u00famero de participaci\u00f3n siga aumentando a medida que se profundizan las consecuencias sanitarias y econ\u00f3micas de la crisis del coronavirus. Debido a que los republicanos del Senado y el presidente Trump han optado por recortar el seguro de desempleo en medio de esta crisis econ\u00f3mica, a\u00fan m\u00e1s estadounidenses tendr\u00e1n que recurrir al SNAP a medida que sus ingresos caigan. Adem\u00e1s, la participaci\u00f3n en el SNAP aumenta tras los desastres naturales. Un mal a\u00f1o de huracanes, como se pronostica que ser\u00e1 2020, puede por s\u00ed solo agregar $2 mil millones a la factura del SNAP. En conjunto, estos factores apuntan a un grave riesgo de que SNAP se quede sin fondos antes del 30 de septiembre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEn el pa\u00eds m\u00e1s rico del mundo, nadie deber\u00eda pasar hambre. El Congreso debe garantizar que SNAP no se quede sin recursos y que el programa reciba los fondos que necesita tanto en el a\u00f1o fiscal actual como en el pr\u00f3ximo para enfrentar los desaf\u00edos \u00fanicos de esta \u00e9poca turbulenta. Los republicanos de la Casa Blanca y el Senado consideraron que la pandemia y la recesi\u00f3n de Trump justificaban negociar $160 mil millones en exenciones fiscales para los inversionistas ricos en bienes ra\u00edces y fondos de cobertura en la Ley CARES. Seguramente estar\u00e1n de acuerdo en que la financiaci\u00f3n suplementaria para SNAP para garantizar que los ni\u00f1os no pasen hambre es una prioridad al menos igual de importante\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>La declaraci\u00f3n del senador Merkley se produce cuando el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de Oreg\u00f3n informa que, en gran parte debido al vencimiento del beneficio de desempleo semanal $600, las solicitudes de SNAP aumentaron en 37% durante la primera semana de agosto. Las solicitudes ya se hab\u00edan multiplicado por 40 desde el inicio de la crisis del coronavirus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Merkley ha defendido durante mucho tiempo SNAP al abogar por la financiaci\u00f3n necesaria y luchar para fortalecer los beneficios. A lo largo de la pandemia, ha trabajado para ayudar a las familias vulnerables a limitar su exposici\u00f3n al virus, liderando un grupo de colegas para pedir a Amazon y Walmart que eliminen las tarifas de entrega y los requisitos m\u00ednimos de pedido para los participantes de SNAP, y formando equipo con sus colegas para pedir El USDA debe trabajar de inmediato para garantizar que los estadounidenses que reciben SNAP puedan recibir comida a domicilio y recogida en la acera. Tambi\u00e9n ha liderado el esfuerzo para aumentar los beneficios de SNAP para ayudar a las familias a superar la pandemia y las consecuencias econ\u00f3micas relacionadas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">###<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. &mdash;
