The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed by President Trump on July 4, 2025. It used the budget reconciliation process to pass with a simple Senate majority. The law dramatically reshaped SNAP by expanding work requirements to ages 18-65, removing automatic exemptions for veterans and homeless individuals, requiring states to share benefit costs for the first time, and eliminating the $520 million annual SNAP nutrition education program. The Congressional Budget Office scored the SNAP provisions at $186.7 billion in cuts over 10 years.
