The Big Beautiful Bill has a SNAP Poison Pill
This blog discusses how the “Big Beautiful Bill” (H.R. 1) contains provisions that undermine SNAP and warns that states will be burdened by its fiscal and administrative impact.
The author argues that the bill shifts costs onto states while cutting their administrative resources for SNAP, making it harder for states to process and maintain benefits efficiently.
She highlights how these provisions will likely lead to reductions in participation, increased hunger, and political blowback. He also suggests that states may be blamed for failures they are being underpowered to prevent.
