Colleen Heflin on SNAP and Reauthorization of the Farm Bill

Poverty Research & Policy

The federal Farm Bill expired at the end of September 2024 and was not reauthorized. Funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has been extended through a Continuing Resolution, but that is a stopgap measure. For this episode, Dr. Colleen Heflin joins us to discuss the recent policy brief that she co-authored with Camille Barbin, titled, “How Does the Reauthorization of the Farm Bill Impact SNAP?”
