Reimpose SNAP ABAWD waiver limits, close BBCE, reverse Thrifty Food Plan hike, end heat-and-eat
Mandate restores Trump ABAWD waiver rule, tightens general work-requirement guidance, finalizes BBCE loophole closure, re-evaluates Biden’s Thrifty Food Plan benefit surge, and eliminates heat-and-eat utility loopholes via standardized allowances.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 10 (USDA) — Reform SNAP: re-implement work requirements including Trump ABAWD waiver rule (6% unemployment/24 months; contiguous area limits); clarify general work requirements; reform broad-based categorical eligibility; re-evaluate Thrifty Food Plan cost-increasing update; eliminate heat-and-eat loophole and finalize utility-allowance standardization.
Undo plan
1) Rescind harsh ABAWD waiver limits that remove food aid during regional downturns without job availability.
2) Keep BBCE flexibility for low-admin enrollment while targeting true millionaire abuse with asset tests.
3) Maintain evidence-based Thrifty Food Plan updates with congressional cost transparency.
4) Reform LIHEAP interaction without cutting utilities-linked food benefits for genuine energy-burden households.
5) Verify: employment, hardship, and payment-accuracy metrics.
