Join advocates across the United States and tell Congress members working on a fiscal year 2026 appropriations package that repealing harmful SNAP cost shifts to states must be front and center.

This shift threatens States' ability to administer SNAP and puts food at risk for millions of people including older adults, children, veterans and people with disabilities.
The Food Research & Action Center is urging individuals to reach out to members of Congress and tell them to include a provision to mitigate the SNAP cost shift to states in the Jan. 30 legislation.
