The impact of “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” on Texas SNAP funding
· Texas Border Business
Feeding Texas recently held a virtual press briefing to discuss the implications of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The new federal law mandates that Texas will cover 75% of SNAP administrative costs starting October 1, 2026, which could add approximately $117 million annually. Additionally, from October 1, 2027, Texas may owe around $709 million if its payment error rate exceeds 6%. Feeding Texas emphasized that the error rate reflects calculation accuracy, not fraud, and urged Congress to delay the cost-sharing requirement to protect food access for vulnerable populations.
