The 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' (H.R. 1), signed into law on July 4, 2025, mandates that future re-evaluations of the Thrifty Food Plan must be cost-neutral and limits SNAP benefit increases to Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments, rather than reflecting actual food cost increases. This effectively causes SNAP benefits to adjust more slowly relative to the actual cost of a healthy diet.
