SNAP Next Step Act of 2025

This bill lets states use money set aside for running the SNAP food assistance program (sometimes called food stamps) to help SNAP recipients find jobs and get job training through existing workforce programs. To qualify, a person must be in a household receiving SNAP benefits, be unemployed or not working enough, and not already be getting help from certain other assistance programs. The bill also allows states to create an online calculator on their websites that would help SNAP recipients figure out whether the benefits they receive would be more or less than what they could earn from a job. The cost of building that calculator would be split between the state and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
