The Food Depository says SNAP enrollment has declined sharply since major changes to the program were enacted under the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025. #snap #foodstamps

Beginning Oct. 1, states will be responsible for 75% of the administrative cost of operating SNAP, up from the previous 50% share. Illinois budget officials estimate that change will cost the state approximately $80 million more each year. #snap #foodstamps

The main bill the coalition wants passed is SB 3277, which would create a program to automatically give recipients seeing a change or stop in federal benefits a one-time payment of $600 – representing about three months worth of the average SNAP subsidy. #snap #centersquare
