Versions of the plan laid out in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act include all variety of cuts, such as increasing work requirements, scrapping a major nutrition education program, eliminating eligibility for legally admitted immigrants and, perhaps most alarmingly, shifting a percentage of the costs, now entirely shouldered by the federal government, to the already strapped states. House Speaker Mike Johnson maintains that the changes being considered are an effort to reduce fraud and waste, not a cut to SNAP. It’s hard to see how he can say that with a straight face. They are proposing cutting it—and cutting it deep.
