What Historic Medicaid, SNAP Cuts in House Republican Bill Would Mean for Coverage

  • On May 22, 2024, the U.S. House passed a budget bill proposing $1.1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and SNAP programs nationwide.
  • These cuts stem from House Republicans' goal to reduce federal spending by imposing new work requirements and limiting program flexibility.
  • The bill would cut roughly $880 billion from Medicaid, which covers 80 million people, and about $230 billion from SNAP, which served over 42 million participants in 2023.
  • Beginning December 31, 2026, able-bodied Medicaid recipients and SNAP beneficiaries must document 80 hours per month of work or community engagement, with limited exemptions, to maintain benefits.
  • If enacted, the cuts could force states to increase spending, reduce benefits, and cause millions to lose access to essential health care and food support programs.
