US EditionSNAP Changes Proposed in GOP's 'Big, Beautiful bill.' Here's What to Know
- House Republicans are advancing the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' a 1,000-plus-page legislative package, in mid-2025 in the U.S. House of Representatives.
- The bill builds on months of House committee work and aims to enact Trump's 2017 tax cuts permanently, while facing ongoing GOP divisions and unified Democratic opposition.
- It includes about $3.8 trillion in tax cuts, nearly $700 billion in Medicaid spending reductions, imposing expanded work requirements on food aid and Medicaid recipients, plus major immigration changes.
- The package would cut SNAP spending by approximately $267 billion, add $46.5 billion for border wall construction, overhaul student loans with $330 billion in savings, and eliminate the $200 tax on gun silencers.
- These provisions could reduce health coverage for at least 7.6 million people, escalate immigration enforcement, and prompt Democratic vows to oppose what they call an ‘extreme and toxic bill.
