SNAP Next Step Act of 2025
The SNAP Next Step Act of 2025 modifies the Food and Nutrition Act to connect SNAP (food stamp) recipients with workforce training. It defines "covered individuals" as SNAP households where members are unemployed/underemployed, not receiving TANF benefits, and not enrolled in state "Employment First" programs. States can now use SNAP administrative funds to run job training programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) for these individuals. Additionally, states must create a free online "employment calculator" on their websites to help SNAP participants compare future earnings with current benefits. This bill directly affects low-income SNAP households seeking employment opportunities.
