SNAP Benefits Fairness Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill would remove the limit on how much housing costs SNAP recipients can deduct when calculating their food stamp benefits. Currently, most households can only deduct up to $712 per month in housing expenses like rent, mortgage, electricity, and water bills that go over half their income. Under this bill, households could deduct all of their housing costs above that 50% threshold, which could increase their SNAP benefits. Households with elderly or disabled members already don't have this cap.
