New bill would restrict SNAP benefits in 9 states. Here’s what could be cut
A bill introduced in the House this month would place additional limits on what types of food recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can purchase with their monthly benefits. The proposal would apply restrictions in nine states, but the supplied material does not list which foods would be affected.
Why It Matters
Because the measure would change what SNAP recipients in nine states can buy with their monthly benefits, it could alter food access for program participants in those states. The lack of detailed item-level information in the material supplied leaves open how broad or targeted the changes would be.
