Ohio lawmakers face pressure to pass HB 502 to fund SNAP, TANF, and WIC if federal aid stops during the shutdown.
Ohio lawmakers are under increasing pressure to act on House Bill 502, which would use state funds to keep SNAP, TANF, and WIC programs running if federal funding dries up during the ongoing government shutdown.
With nearly 1.4 million Ohioans relying on SNAP—58% more than during peak pandemic levels—advocates warn that basic needs won’t wait, urging bipartisan cooperation.
Despite the urgency and the approaching Nov. 4 election, the bill has not been discussed in legislative sessions, raising concerns about lawmakers’ readiness to protect vulnerable residents when federal support fails.
