Protecting SNAP and Medicaid Access in Light of HR 1 Changes

Thursday May 14, 2026 10:00am - 11:15am EDT

Mecklenburg 2

In July 2025, H.R. 1 was passed, making major changes to the SNAP and Medicaid programs. While many people will lose access to SNAP and Medicaid as part of these changes, many more will continue to be eligible but struggle to prove it to their State Agency. This session will discuss appeal rights in both programs and ways this work can be done by existing staff or with pro bono assistance.
