Judge Grants States More Time for SNAP Rule Changes
Update: 2025-12-16
Description
In a significant development, a federal judge in Oregon has granted states additional time to comply with new food assistance rules for immigrants. This comes after a lawsuit against the USDA over the interpretation of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The acts ambiguity led to confusion, with states arguing that the USDAs initial guidance contradicted the law and could lead to administrative errors and penalties. The USDA later issued clarified guidance, confirming that lawful permanent residents are generally eligible for SNAP benefits. The judges decision provides states with more time to adapt to the new rules without immediate penalties.
