Changes approved by Congress may result in additional costs for operating the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Nearly 700,000 people rely on this food assistance program each month.

Further details on the potential impact of these changes are available. Advocates have warned that this could result in millions of dollars in new costs.
