US EditionHouse Republicans propose major reforms to SNAP
- House Republicans released their portion of a bill on Monday that proposes changes to SNAP funding and work requirements.
- The proposal aims to reduce federal spending by an estimated $230 billion by shifting some costs to states based on error rates.
- The plan would require adults without dependents or disabilities to work 80 hours monthly, raise age limits, and limit state waivers during unemployment.
- Hawaii's SNAP error rate is about 60%, and states like Alaska, Delaware, and New Jersey risk higher costs, raising concerns over fairness and food access.
- Critics warn the proposal could reduce benefits for vulnerable groups, exacerbate food insecurity, and complicate passing a farm bill this year.
