SNAP Reform and Upward Mobility Act of 2023

The SNAP Reform and Upward Mobility Act of 2023 makes several changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It modifies work requirements for recipients (raising the age from 60 to 65), increases state matching fund requirements over time (from 10% to 50% by 2031), and establishes new eligibility rules requiring 6 months of benefit receipt valued at $50+. The bill also creates a Commission to better measure poverty by valuing government benefits and includes fraud prevention measures for EBT card use (limiting authorized users to 5 and imposing penalties for unauthorized use) and retailers. These changes will affect SNAP recipients, state agencies administering the program, and participating retailers.
