What happened

Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

The Senate Agriculture Committee has struggled to advance the Farm Bill, with disagreements over cost-share delays for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) being the primary issue. Under the current law, states must begin contributing to SNAP benefits if their payment error rates exceed 6% starting in October 2027.

The conflict over the cost-share could require states to add hundreds of millions of dollars annually to their budgets. Ag groups note that the slow legislative progress has left farmers reliant on an outdated safety net.
