SNAP Shock for Guam: DPHSS says nearly 7,000 residents will lose food assistance starting June 1 as new federal SNAP work rules kick in, with 6,956 people expected to drop off first—while the agency prepares Disaster SNAP for Sinlaku-affected households pending a major disaster declaration. Typhoon Recovery, Money Moves: Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero puts Sinlaku public-infrastructure damage at about $435M and says FEMA could reassess more thoroughly if a major disaster declaration is approved; she also signed an emergency 180-day school waiver and extended the Lotte Duty Free Guam airport concession. Healthcare System Watch: Civil Service Commission opened an investigation into a potential improper above-step recruitment at Guam Memorial Hospital. Community Health Funding: DPHSS budget hearing also flagged Medicaid match needs and warned SNAP changes could deepen food insecurity. Local Wins: GCC celebrated 324 Spring 2026 graduates, including first-in-family college graduate Liberty Joy Padrones.
