Reported S. 5526 to delay state SNAP cost-sharing

The Agriculture Department proposed a rule on November 10 that would end automatic SNAP eligibility for households that qualify through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program without meeting federal income limits. USDA estimates 6.3 million people, about 17.6% of everyone on the program, would lose benefits by fiscal 2029, along with automatic free school meal eligibility for 1.78 million children.
