States could use SNAP administrative money to help some SNAP recipients get job training and work services. States could also build an online tool that estimates how a future job might change a person's SNAP benefits.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
SNAP Next Step Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
Latest action on S. 1794: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects SNAP recipients who are unemployed or do not have enough work and are not already getting TANF cash aid or state Employment First services. They could get more outreach about job training and work services. State SNAP agencies and state workforce programs could also be affected because they would decide whether to use these options and how to run them.
Why this matters: This bill could matter because some SNAP recipients may get a clearer path to job training and work help. Today, that connection can depend on how a state runs its SNAP and workforce programs. The bill could also help people think through job choices by showing how work income might affect food aid. But the effect may vary because states do not have to use these options, and the bill does not add new funding.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
