(NAFB.com) – The “Big Beautiful Bill,” the name of the reconciliation package passed along party lines by the House of Representatives on May 22, includes about $267 billion in spending cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program over a 10-year period. The legislation severely cuts and alters implementation of SNAP and other programs that meet people’s basic needs, including Medicaid, The Alliance to End Hunger said in a news release. SNAP is the largest federal nutrition program in the U.S., serving 42 million individuals in need of food assistance. The legislation, if passed in the Senate, would mark the largest cut to SNAP in the program’s history, according to The Alliance to End Hunger. The coalition said it is “deeply opposed to the legislation” and urges the Senate to reject the bill. The Senate is expected to make changes to the House plan, possibly on SNAP, Medicaid, and deficit savings.
