Food assistance advocates ask Congress to delay GOP megabill shift of SNAP costs to states
Advocates and public health experts urge Republicans in Congress to delay a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act requiring states to share costs of SNAP benefits starting October 2027. The law, signed by President Donald Trump in 2026, could result in over 4.5 million people losing food assistance, including 1.5 million children, as states take on financial responsibility for SNAP error rates.
