El Honorable Sonny Perdue<\/p>\n
secretario de agricultura<\/p>\n
Departamento de Agricultura de EE. UU.<\/p>\n

Washington, DC 20250<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Estimado Secretario Perdue:<\/p>\n
Escribimos para plantear serias preocupaciones sobre la regla propuesta recientemente por el Departamento de Agricultura de EE. UU. (USDA) "Revisi\u00f3n de la elegibilidad categ\u00f3rica de SNAP". A pesar de la afirmaci\u00f3n de la agencia de que esta regla "solucionar\u00eda una laguna" y garantizar\u00eda que se brinden beneficios a los m\u00e1s necesitados, los cambios propuestos, seg\u00fan las propias estimaciones del USDA, quitar\u00edan la asistencia alimentaria a aproximadamente tres millones de estadounidenses, incluidos 66,000 habitantes de Oreg\u00f3n. que actualmente son participantes elegibles de SNAP.<\/p>\n
La regla propuesta por la agencia restringe la capacidad de los estados para determinar la elegibilidad para SNAP al limitar la "Elegibilidad Categ\u00f3rica", lo que permite que las personas sean autom\u00e1ticamente o "categ\u00f3ricamente" elegibles para SNAP en funci\u00f3n de ser elegibles o recibir beneficios de otros programas espec\u00edficos de asistencia para personas de bajos ingresos que Ya verifique los ingresos, los bienes y otras circunstancias. La elegibilidad categ\u00f3rica garantiza que los solicitantes sean elegibles para los beneficios que solicitan recibir.<\/p>\n
La regla propuesta no reconoce la intenci\u00f3n del Congreso detr\u00e1s de la elegibilidad categ\u00f3rica de base amplia y elude al Congreso. Nos gustar\u00eda recordarle que el Congreso se ha opuesto y rechazado repetidamente sobre una base bipartidista y bicameral a los cambios perjudiciales en la asistencia nutricional. M\u00e1s recientemente, el Congreso aprob\u00f3 la Ley Agr\u00edcola de 2018 que protege espec\u00edficamente esta pol\u00edtica clave. Rechazamos las afirmaciones del USDA de que esta regla \u201chace las cosas justas\u201d y es necesaria para mejorar el cumplimiento y la consistencia de elegibilidad. Como sabe, su propio departamento ha declarado que SNAP ha mantenido algunos de los m\u00e1s altos est\u00e1ndares de integridad del programa y los sistemas de control de calidad m\u00e1s meticulosos de cualquier programa federal.<\/p>\n
Estamos especialmente preocupados por la cantidad de ni\u00f1os de Oreg\u00f3n, muchos de los cuales reciben su \u00fanica comida del d\u00eda en la escuela, que perder\u00e1n el acceso a las comidas escolares gratuitas si no se les certifica autom\u00e1ticamente para las comidas escolares debido a su participaci\u00f3n en SNAP. Si bien la gran mayor\u00eda de estos ni\u00f1os pueden calificar para comidas a precio reducido, tendr\u00e1n que volver a solicitar el programa y traer dinero para el almuerzo para poder seguir comiendo en la escuela. Debido a que las escuelas reciben un reembolso m\u00e1s bajo para los ni\u00f1os que participan en comidas a precio reducido, este cambio tambi\u00e9n significar\u00e1 menos dinero para las escuelas.<\/p>\n
En Oreg\u00f3n, esta regla propuesta tambi\u00e9n ser\u00eda una carga importante para el Departamento de Servicios Humanos (DHS), que administra el programa SNAP de Oreg\u00f3n. DHS ha estado utilizando la elegibilidad categ\u00f3rica durante 15 a\u00f1os y necesitar\u00eda actualizar sus capacidades t\u00e9cnicas y volver a capacitar al personal trabajador que ayuda a garantizar que los habitantes de Oreg\u00f3n reciban sus beneficios. Tambi\u00e9n sabemos que cada $1 gastado en beneficios SNAP genera aproximadamente $1.79 en actividad econ\u00f3mica.<\/p>\n
Demasiadas familias estadounidenses trabajadoras luchan contra la inseguridad alimentaria y el acceso a alimentos frescos y nutritivos. Deber\u00edamos hacer m\u00e1s para abordar el hambre y poner fin al ciclo de la pobreza, en lugar de socavar la asistencia b\u00e1sica de la que dependen las familias, especialmente los ni\u00f1os, las personas mayores y las personas con discapacidades, para sobrevivir.<\/p>\n
Esta regla propuesta es innecesariamente cruel, ignora la intenci\u00f3n del Congreso, quita los alimentos a las familias, impide que los ni\u00f1os reciban comidas escolares y dificulta que los estados administren la asistencia alimentaria. En el pa\u00eds m\u00e1s rico del mundo, podemos y debemos asegurarnos de que cada familia en los Estados Unidos pueda tener comida en su mesa todos los d\u00edas y que ning\u00fan ni\u00f1o vaya a la escuela o se acueste con hambre por la noche.<\/p>\n
Le instamos a que retire de inmediato esta norma propuesta perjudicial. Esperamos su respuesta.<\/p>\n
