Bill overview
The Closing the Meal Gap Act of 2025 aims to improve the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by adjusting how benefits are calculated. Specifically, it mandates that SNAP benefits be based on a ‘low-cost food plan’ designed for a 4-person family, which will be regularly updated to reflect current food prices. The bill also modifies the way SNAP benefits are allocated, increases the percentage of benefits used for purchasing food, and adjusts quality control procedures. Finally, it includes changes related to medical expense deductions and workforce development programs.
