SNAP Benefits Suspension

6 proceedings tracked · Active

USDA actions in 2025 targeting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program included suspension of certain state waivers for Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDs), termination of SNAP benefits for individuals based on immigration status determinations, and data-collection mandates that states challenged as coercive. Litigation challenged these actions as APA violations and, in some cases, as unconstitutional conditions on federal funding.
