This week, DataHaven released a new report, “Benefits Lost: Mapping Town-Level Declines in SNAP Coverage Since the Passage of H.R.1.”

H.R.1 has increased the administrative burden of applying for SNAP, and these burdens have resulted in a large decline in SNAP enrollment. Our report uses data from Connecticut Department of Social Services to show that SNAP enrollment fell 15 percent (55,000 people) between June 2025 and June 2026.

Our report also uses town-level data to analyze how SNAP coverage has changed among those who are likely eligible for SNAP. We show that the places where the need for SNAP is greatest have experienced the largest drops in coverage.

The report includes other useful insights, including a breakdown of enrollment losses by age group and a map of the town-level economic impacts of benefit losses.

The economic impact findings align with the benefit losses that DataHaven forecasted in our SNAP report from October 2025. That report predicted that Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, and Waterbury would each lose benefits ranging from $1.05M to $1.4M per month. In our new report, we estimate these cities lost between $1M and $1.3M monthly between June 2025 and June 2026. Our results also align with the Urban Institute’s forecast that Connecticut would lose between $11M and $15M per month in SNAP benefits. We estimate that the state is currently losing about $11M in benefits per month.

On the report page, you can explore an interactive map with the breakdown of enrollment losses between June 2025 and June 2026 by #Connecticut town, or download a spreadsheet with all of our estimates. Visit ctdatahaven.org/reports. #snap
