US EditionGOP’s food stamp plan is found to violate Senate rules. It’s the latest setback for Trump’s big bill
UNITED STATES, JUN 21 – Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled the GOP plan to shift SNAP costs to states violates budget rules, blocking $128 billion in projected savings over a decade.
- Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled on June 2025 that a GOP plan to shift federal SNAP costs to states violates Senate budget rules.
- The provision aimed to reduce federal spending on SNAP by requiring states to cover 15% to 25% of benefit and 75% of administrative costs.
- This plan faced opposition due to its potential to cut food stamps for over 3 million people and impose roughly $1.9 billion yearly costs on New York governments.
- Senators Amy Klobuchar and John Boozman emphasized their dedication to safeguarding SNAP beneficiaries while adhering to Senate regulations, with Klobuchar affirming their ongoing efforts to support families in need.
- The ruling forces Republican leaders to seek new savings strategies without endangering food aid or Medicaid, amid protests against the broader Trump tax and spending bill underway in June 2025.
