On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed a partisan budget reconciliation bill into law that marks the most significant and damaging restructuring of SNAP in its 100 year history. For the first time since its creation in 1939, there is now a requirement that states pay between 5%-15% of the SNAP benefit cost itself.  It institutes devastating new cost shares for states implementing the program, including a 25% increase in states’ responsibility for administrative costs. States will likely be forced to raise taxes, pull funding from other areas of their budgets, employ new barriers to eligibility, or potentially withdraw from SNAP entirely.
