With grocery costs and rent still climbing, many worry the timing couldn\u2019t be worse. Lawmakers call the overhaul a push toward accountability and sustainability, but advocates warn it could deepen food insecurity nationwide. The <strong data-start=\"438\" data-end=\"469\">Congressional Budget Office<\/strong> projects $187 billion in SNAP reductions through 2034 \u2014 the largest cuts in decades.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"558\" data-end=\"1063\">A key change expands <strong data-start=\"579\" data-end=\"600\">work requirements<\/strong> from ages 18\u201354 to 64, meaning older adults must now verify at least 80 hours of work each month to keep benefits. Long-standing exemptions for homeless individuals, certain veterans, and those aging out of foster care have been eliminated, which critics say will leave thousands hungry. The law also tightens <strong data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"936\">immigrant eligibility<\/strong>, reducing support for mixed-status families where U.S.-born children could see less food aid when their parents lose access.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1065\" data-end=\"1541\">SNAP benefit levels will be <strong data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1114\">frozen until 2027<\/strong>, preventing automatic adjustments for inflation. As food prices rise, families\u2019 assistance will effectively buy less each year. States must also cover a larger share of administrative costs \u2014 a burden that high-population states warn could strain budgets and trigger service cuts. Supporters, however, claim the reforms address waste and improper payments, framing the bill as a \u201ccourse correction\u201d to keep SNAP sustainable.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1543\" data-end=\"2091\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Food banks across the U.S. say demand is already at record highs and could spike further once the rules take hold. Implementation challenges \u2014 from new verification systems to complex paperwork \u2014 may lead to <strong data-start=\"1751\" data-end=\"1780\">accidental disenrollments<\/strong>, leaving households without aid. As winter approaches, many low-income families could face impossible choices between heat, rent, and food. Beyond politics, the debate underscores a deeper question of dignity: in one of the wealthiest nations on earth, no one should have to choose between survival and a meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Millions of American families who rely on food assistance are bracing for sweeping changes this November as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
