Repeals the cap on shelter expense deductions for determining Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
The SNAP Benefits Fairness Act of 2025 aims to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 by removing the current limitation on the maximum deduction for shelter expenses when determining eligibility and benefit amounts for SNAP. This change would allow individuals to deduct a higher amount of their shelter expenses, potentially increasing their SNAP benefits. The Act would take effect on January 1 of the first year following its enactment.
