flag Nebraska bill seeks to restore SNAP benefits for 7,000 immigrants affected by Trump-era policy.

flag Nebraska lawmakers are considering LB 843, a bill to restore SNAP benefits for about 7,000 immigrants and refugees who lost eligibility under a Trump-era policy. flag The legislation seeks a federal waiver to reinstate food assistance, arguing that affected families—many of whom are hardworking and contributed to U.S. military efforts—are now facing hunger and instability despite working full-time. flag Advocates say the policy change has caused widespread hardship, including food insecurity and fear of eviction, while state officials remain neutral, citing technical barriers to a waiver. flag The bill, fully funded by the federal government, is under review by the Health and Human Services Committee.
