The 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed by President Trump on July 4th, 2025. SNAP is one of the main programs impacted.

What's Changed? Between now and November 2025, states will implement the new SNAP rules. The biggest change is that more people will now need to meet the work requirement. Many states that had previously waived the work requirement will no longer be able to do so.

Additionally, the work requirement exemption for veterans has been removed, and the exemption for parents with children under 18 now only applies to parents with children under 14 — among other changes.

Your SNAP caseworker can help you figure out exactly what changes will apply to you. Also, even if you need to meet the work requirements but can't, you can still get three months of benefits.

Actual benefit dollar amounts are likely only changing for a small percentage of households.

Small differences in how income and expenses are counted can significantly impact your benefit amount. If the calculator's results are higher than your current monthly benefits, here are some tips to consider:

Income Frequency: Ensure you're entering income accurately based on how often you're paid. If you're paid weekly or biweekly, change the payment frequency in the calculator—states use different formulas to convert income to a monthly amount, which can affect the estimate.

Review Your SNAP Case: Check the income and expenses listed on your SNAP case to confirm they are accurate and up to date. Verify that all expense categories that you've entered in the calculator—such as allowable dependent care and medical expenses, rent, and utilities—are reflected in your SNAP case. If you don't have access to this information, you can request it from your state's SNAP agency.

First Month of Benefits: If you are in your first month of receiving SNAP benefits, the amount may be prorated based on the date you applied. This means your first payment could be lower than a full month's benefits, but following months should reflect the full amount.
