Securing Strictly Needy Americans’ Pivotal (SNAP) Benefits Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • This bill adds rules to restrict how SNAP food assistance benefits can be used and accessed.
  • It affects SNAP recipients whose EBT cards are used only out-of-state for over 60 days and those owning food stores.
  • States must suspend benefits until households prove in-state residency or investigation confirms it; household members cannot use benefits at stores they own.

    How would requiring states to suspend SNAP benefits during residency verification investigations affect households waiting for approval to prove their in-state status?

  2. 02

    What evidence supports the premise that restricting SNAP use at stores owned by household members reduces fraud or improves program integrity?

  3. 03

    How might the 60-day out-of-state threshold impact migrant workers, students, or families with temporary relocation needs who receive SNAP assistance?
