Op Ed: One Year Later: Feeding Texas Reviews the Legacy of the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’
· Texas Border Business
Feeding Texas is reflecting on the impact of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' (HR 1) as it approaches its first anniversary. Signed into law on July 4, 2025, the act has led to a 16% decline in SNAP participation in Texas, affecting nearly 550,000 individuals, many of whom are children. The rising cost of living has increased demand at food banks, which now distribute over 700 million pounds of food annually. New eligibility restrictions and work requirements are complicating access to SNAP, prompting Feeding Texas to urge Congress to delay financial penalties for states to improve program accuracy and maintain food access for families in need.
