In the face of the child hunger crisis unfolding in plain sight, Chair Boozman’s farm bill proposal falls short on SNAP, despite including a step in the right direction, and further changes are needed before the legislation moves forward.

“Already, more than 4 million people have lost their grocery benefits since the SNAP cuts were enacted, and this number will only increase if Congress fails to provide states with the time needed to responsibly implement these provisions.” Full statement on the proposed Farm Bill: bit.ly/4aBVeTJ

"There is no shortage of resources for the most vulnerable among us" is true, but not in the way the Trump administration thinks.

This is quite a response to data showing that the number of children receiving food assistance has plummeted since the deepest SNAP cuts in history were signed into law last summer. www.propublica.org/article/snap...

While cutting SNAP eligibility for children was not a stated target of H.R. 1’s proponents, the cost shift and access barriers are resulting in serious losses of food assistance for low-income children. www.cbpp.org/blog/sharp-d...

New USDA data show 2.5 million fewer people participated in SNAP in December compared to July, when the Republican megabill (H.R. 1) enacted the deepest SNAP cuts in history. This is only the beginning — even more people will lose SNAP as the full brunt of these cuts take effect.

We are disappointed that the House Agriculture Committee has moved forward a bill that refuses to acknowledge the critical role SNAP plays not only in fighting hunger but also in supporting farmers and local economies.

We are running out of time to reverse course before the harmful and unprecedented cuts go into full effect. Without action, SNAP will soon be in crisis at a time when too many families are already struggling with rising costs.

But now states are being asked to do more with less on an unreasonable timeline, and this bill does not invest in the administrative resources and state workforce that will actually reduce error rates.

No Kid Hungry
@nokidhungry.org

The bill also does not address the stricter time limits passed by Congress that will force millions of Americans to lose SNAP without improving access to sustainable long term employment.

Instead, this new proposal makes no effort to reverse these cuts, putting families at risk of losing access to grocery benefits and worsening the immense financial and administrative burden on states, rather than providing the relief that is needed.

@nokidhungry.org

Even before the devastating SNAP cuts were signed into law last year, states have been working hard to improve their SNAP payment error rates, and they have been adjusting their state budgets in order to continue administering SNAP.
