HR 1 SNAP cost shifts to states
Summary
The 2025 federal law cuts SNAP by over $200 billion and shifts administrative costs to 75% state / 25% federal starting October 1, 2026, plus a new benefit cost-share of up to 15% based on state payment error rates. Indiana faces roughly $270 million per year in new costs, raising fears of benefit cuts or cuts to other social programs.
