SNAP Reform and Upward Mobility Act of 2025
This bill reforms the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and improves poverty measurement methods. It raises work requirements for SNAP recipients (increasing the age from 60 to 65 for some requirements), requires states to gradually increase their SNAP matching funds from 10% to 50% over nine years, and mandates new reporting on employment and training program outcomes. The bill also establishes a Commission to value government benefits for poverty measurement, requiring the Census Bureau to collect more comprehensive data about federal benefits, income, and taxes. Additionally, it clarifies rules about EBT card usage with penalties for unauthorized use and makes changes to fraud investigation procedures.
