For over 50 years, SNAP benefits have been fully federally funded. That's changing. Starting October 1st, states must cover 75% of administrative costs, and by 2027, most will also fund a portion of benefits for the first time. These shifts mean billions in new obligations, and some states may drop the program entirely. Older adults are already deeply underenrolled in SNAP, and cost pressures will likely widen that gap. How are states navigating these changes? What are the implications for older adults? Join us to share information, compare strategies, and think together about what comes next. |
