40-second read · 5 questions answered below
What does this do?
This bill would reverse two parts of a recent law. It would bring SNAP food stamp benefits back up to their earlier, higher amounts and take back any unspent extra money that was given to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Who does it affect?
Low-income people and families who receive SNAP benefits would see their food assistance amounts go back up. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would lose the additional funding it had received.
Why does it matter?
SNAP recipients had their benefits reduced under the earlier law, so this bill would undo that reduction. The extra ICE funding that has not yet been spent would be cancelled.
What does it cost, and who pays?
- Pulls back unspent ICE funds
- Raises SNAP benefit levels
