Expansion of harsh time limits on SNAP in debt ceiling agreement will fuel rates of hunger and poverty. See our statement. https://t.co/MIEQstLlo3

[Jennifer Haberkorn @jenhab]

Some details from agreement in principle:
No Medicaid work requirements
SNAP: New time limits for people up to age 54, phased in and to sunset in 2030. New exemptions to the time limit policy will protect veterans and homeless.

[Governor Tony Evers @GovEvers]

A kid who's hungry isn't going to be able to focus on their schoolwork.

That's why in my next budget, I'm proposing a "Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids" program to further expand free school meals and lower the cost of school meals for kids across our state.

We should also reduce #SNAP access barriers, including the time-limit for people out of work. It disproportionately affects people of color & doesn’t help people get/keep employment, directly contributing to further food insecurity according to the @USDA.
