US EditionReconciliation Bill Targets SNAP, Extends Trump Tax Cuts
- On May 16, 2025, the House Agriculture Committee in Washington D.C. Approved a bill related to SNAP by strictly following party divisions, moving it forward as part of a comprehensive tax and spending package.
- The bill responds to a Republican budget framework instructing the committee to find at least $230 billion in savings, mainly by changing SNAP program rules to help extend Trump’s 2017 tax cuts.
- Provisions include closing SNAP work requirement loopholes, requiring states to pay a portion of benefit costs proportional to payment errors, and restricting eligibility for most noncitizens.
- Agriculture Chairman Glenn Thompson called the reforms "commonsense solutions" that restore program integrity and aid rural America, while Democrats criticized them for increasing paperwork and restricting access for low-income people.
- If enacted, the bill’s cost shifts could strain states with smaller budgets, risking program cuts and increased food insecurity, and complicate reconciliation efforts for the tax cuts extension.
