Fact Check: Claims About National Budget Cuts Circulating Online

Several posts circulating on social media this week claim that funding for key social programs has been eliminated in the proposed national budget. A review of publicly available budget documents shows a more nuanced picture.

While some line items were reduced compared to supplemental allocations from the prior year, the base allocations for the programs in question remain funded at or above previous levels.

PostNetNews reviewed the relevant budget documents and confirmed the specific figures being shared online do not match the official proposed allocations.
