Advocacy Needed to Protect WIC Funding
The Senate-passed funding level ($8.2 billion) for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) ensures that WIC can meet anticipated participation and safeguard the cash value benefit (CVB) that allows WIC participants to purchase fruits and vegetables.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the Republican-led budget reconciliation bill (H.R. 1), representing one of the most far-reaching overhauls of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in its history. While proponents framed H.R. 1 as a measure to curb spending and tighten program rules, the law makes deep cuts to SNAP and fundamentally shifts additional financial responsibilities to states while extending tax breaks to billionaires. The law slashes benefits, expands harsh time limits, eliminates eligibility for many humanitarian immigrants, caps future benefit increases, and shifts massive new costs to states. It also ends federal funding for SNAP-Ed.
