HR1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was enacted on July 4th of 2025. The law includes cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, that have already resulted in over 3 million people losing this important benefit. On June 1st, the federal government issued the regulations that operationalize the law’s requirement that people between the ages of 18 and 64 who do not live with a child under the age of 14 and who receive SNAP benefits–and/or Medicaid–either work 80 hours a month, do that time in community service or volunteer work, or be enrolled at least half time in an educational program. The law also limits eligibility for certain lawfully present immigrants. This is at a time when the cost of food is rising and is expected to continue to rise until the conflict in the Middle East has ended and the Strait of Hormuz is reopened. Approximately one in 10 households in Delaware County participates in the SNAP program. To discuss what has already unfolded with the SNAP program in the Catskill region, HealthCetera host Diana Mason, PhD, RN, talked with Commissioner of Social Services for Delaware County, Keith Weaver and local farmer and operator of Kimchi Harvest Madalyn Warren. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio on June 3, 2026.
