Food assistance advocates ask Congress to delay GOP megabill shift of SNAP costs to states
Advocates and public health experts urge Congress to delay a Republican-backed law requiring states to share Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) costs, arguing it will reduce access to food assistance for millions, including 1.5 million children. The law, signed by President Trump, mandates states with high SNAP error rates begin covering some costs starting October 2027, projected to cut federal spending by $190 billion over ten years.
