SNAP Reform and Upward Mobility Act of 2025

This bill changes how the government measures poverty by requiring the Census Bureau to collect new data on federal benefits and income, and it creates a commission to help figure out how federal benefits should count when estimating the poverty level. It raises the age limit for work requirements in the food assistance program known as SNAP, so more people up to age 64 would need to meet work rules to keep receiving benefits. The bill also requires states to start paying a share of SNAP costs, beginning at 10% and rising to 50% by 2033, which is money that currently comes from the federal government. Finally, it adds new rules around fraud, including requiring people who receive SNAP benefits to take part in fraud investigations and setting up penalties like losing benefits for misusing their EBT cards.
