Turns the net benefit.

--turns farm bill because if the states become fascist then they wont give

--changes the senators which means they strike down bills by the time we vote on bills, or puts fascist pressure on them

--States implement snap and can mess with eligibility, fascist states will prob not do that or start gatekeeping it to minorities, etc

CBPP ‘22 – The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities is a nonpartisan research and policy institute that advances federal and state policies to help build a nation where everyone has the resources they need to thrive and share in the nation’s prosperity. “Policy Basics: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)”, Last Updated 06/09/2022; https://www.cbpp.org/research/food-assistance/the-supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap Accessed 07/20/2023 | RN

The federal government pays the full cost of SNAP benefits and splits the cost of administering the program with the states, which operate it. SNAP operates in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Virgin Islands, but not in Puerto Rico, American Samoa, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Despite higher levels of poverty than the rest of the U.S., these three territories are excluded from SNAP and instead receive capped block grants for nutrition assistance.

Who Is Eligible for SNAP?

Unlike most means-tested benefit programs, which are restricted to particular categories of low-income individuals, SNAP is broadly available to households with low incomes. SNAP eligibility rules and benefit levels are, for the most part, set at the federal level and uniform across the nation, though states have flexibility to tailor aspects, such as the value of a vehicle a household may own and still qualify for benefits. To qualify for SNAP benefits under federal rules, a household must meet three criteria (although states have flexibility to adjust these limits):

Its gross monthly income generally must be at or below 130 percent of the poverty line, or $2,379 a month (about $28,550 a year) for a three-person household in fiscal year 2022. Households with a member who is age 60 or older or has a disability need not meet this limit.

Its net monthly income, or income after deductions are applied for items such as housing costs and child care, must be less than or equal to the poverty line ($1,830 a month or about $21,960 a year for a three-person household in fiscal year 2022).

Its assets must fall below certain limits: in fiscal year 2022 the limits are $2,500 for households without a member who is age 60 or older or has a disability and $3,750 for those with an older or disabled member.
