The House of Representatives has passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which includes significant changes to nutrition programs. In total, these changes are projected to generate $295 billion in federal savings over 10 years, primarily through modifications to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Notable among the changes are proposals requiring states to pay a portion of the cost of SNAP benefits and increasing the state match rate for administrative costs. These provisions could shift $8.2 billion to $27 billion in federal costs to states annually.
This Issue Brief summarizes the SNAP changes and provides state estimates of the two provisions that would shift costs to states.
