New rule would limit Congress's ability to cut Medicaid and SNAP benefits until 2029.
This bill would create a procedural barrier against Congress using a fast-track budget process, called reconciliation, to cut benefits or eligibility for Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This means people who rely on these programs for healthcare and food assistance would face a procedural barrier against certain budget cuts until early 2029. Currently, there are no specific rules to prevent such cuts during this budget process.
Today, there are no specific rules that make it out of order for Congress to use a fast-track budget process, called reconciliation, to cut benefits or eligibility for Medicaid or SNAP. If this bill becomes law, lawmakers would have a new procedural rule that would make it out of order to consider reconciliation bills that reduce enrollment or benefits for Medicaid or SNAP until January 20, 2029.
