The impact of “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” on Texas SNAP funding
· Texas Border Business
Feeding Texas held a virtual press briefing to discuss the implications of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Starting October 1, 2026, Texas will be responsible for 75% of SNAP administrative costs, adding an estimated $117 million annually. By October 1, 2027, if the state's payment error rate exceeds 6%, Texas could owe around $709 million in benefit cost-sharing. Although SNAP fraud is rare, Feeding Texas emphasizes the need for a realistic timeline to lower the error rate without compromising food access for millions of Texans, especially children and working families.
