Key Points

  • Raises the age for certain SNAP work rules from 60 to 65, and makes job search more likely to be in-person and supervised.
  • Phases in a new requirement that states pay a growing share of SNAP administrative costs, reaching 50% over time.
  • Changes some SNAP eligibility rules, including requiring 6 straight months of another need-based benefit worth at least $50 to qualify under this pathway.
  • Adds stricter anti-fraud steps, including requiring people to cooperate with fraud investigations and limiting who can use an EBT card (with penalties if it’s used by others).
  • Directs the Census Bureau to use more verified government data to measure poverty and report new poverty measures, while keeping the official poverty line unchanged.
