Delilah Guzman, WSCAH's Senior Benefits Access Specialist, grounds the discussion in powerful, real-life examples of SNAP recipients navigating new work requirements. Her stories made clear how these policy shifts are not abstract — they directly affect our customers’ ability to put food on the table.
