How Medicaid, SNAP Changes in Trump's Big Budget Bill Could Affect Schools

MARYLAND, JUL 10 – Maryland Food Bank expects to triple its annual meal distribution to cover the SNAP benefit loss for 170,000 residents, as food insecurity remains at pandemic-level highs, officials said.

  • On July 4, President Donald Trump enacted a comprehensive budget bill spearheaded by the Republican-led Congress, which implements significant revisions to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program .
  • The bill stems from Republican initiatives aiming to cut Medicaid funding by 15% over the upcoming ten years and to require Medicaid work participation starting by December 31, 2026.
  • The legislation cuts federal SNAP funding by $186 billion, ending nutrition education programs and expanding work requirements to parents and seniors.
  • Washington Governor Bob Ferguson estimated one million SNAP recipients will see reduced benefits, while Maryland expects 170,000 people to lose SNAP access after these cuts.
  • These changes will shift costs to states, increase administrative burdens, and could reduce food assistance and health services, affecting vulnerable families and local economies.
