So we state it again, as clearly as possible: Congress must reject this weak and ineffective proposal until it is replaced with a real fix for hungry families.

Americans are desperate for help. It’s time Congress actually listened.

The SNAP state cost-shift policy is basically a coin flip.

New from our board member and @brookings.edu fellow, @laurenhlb.bsky.social a state's bill could swing from $0 to over $2 billion, based on chance, not performance.

States may be forced to cut SNAP or drop it. Congress
should fully fund.
The SNAP state cost-shift policy leaves the program’s existence to chance | Brookings
Lauren Bauer and Diane Schanzenbach find that the SNAP cost shift to states will fluctuate unpredictably and considerably from year to year solely based on random chance.

62 years ago today, President Johnson signed the Food Stamp Act of 1964. We’re at another turning point now, with SNAP under attack.

We have to strengthen SNAP and rebuild it to be stronger, not allow it to be cut and weakened even further.

A million children stand to lose food assistance because of SNAP cuts in the so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill Act."

Great reporting on families with kids — many of whom are still eligible for SNAP — who have nonetheless lost the help they need to afford groceries. Now, they're facing impossible decisions when buying food means a utility bill goes unpaid or a broken car engine can't get fixed.

The Senate Ag Committee failed to advance its Farm Bill today, with Dems calling for a real fix to the historic SNAP cuts.

4.5M people have already lost benefits, and some states may drop the program entirely.

Arizona shows what SNAP cuts look like in practice. 450K people lost aid, over 100K of them children, driven not by fraud but by red tape, caseworker cuts, and penalties that push states.

Thank you to Jason DeParle of the NYT's The Daily for brining these families' stories to light.
