Alabama Arise held a webinar Monday night to discuss how HR 1, or the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act, affected programs such as SNAP and Medicaid. The federal government shutdown has since drastically affected those programs further, causing SNAP benefits to be delayed through November. 

 

The video below is Monday night’s webinar, presented by Alabama Arise’s organizing team, and is the latest update we have regarding SNAP and Medicaid and how those programs have been affected by the federal government shutdown. Below the video will be additional resources you can use to stay up-to-date on the latest news on SNAP and Medicaid.
