Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

SNAP Citizenship and Residency Act of 2026

Key claim: HR9456 would impose citizenship and residency requirements on SNAP eligibility and was referred to the House Committee on Agriculture in June 2026.

Abstract

(HR9456 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-25): Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.

Why this matters

SNAP eligibility rules directly determine which households receive federal food assistance, and citizenship/residency restrictions are a recurring flashpoint in farm bill and immigration debates. HR9456 signals continued congressional interest in narrowing SNAP eligibility, with downstream implications for state administrative workload, retailer redemption volumes, and food security in mixed-status communities.
