To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to restrict the eligibility of aliens to receive supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits to aliens admitted to the United States as lawful permanent residents and who thereafter lawfully reside in the United States for at least 10 years.

HR9456 was introduced on June 25, 2026 by Rep. Burchett (R-TN) and referred to the House Committee on Agriculture. The bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to restrict SNAP eligibility for aliens to only those admitted as lawful permanent residents who have lawfully resided in the US for at least 10 years. This is a restrictive eligibility change that would reduce the number of legal immigrants qualifying for SNAP. The bill is in an early legislative stage with no committee hearings scheduled. Given the narrow sponsor base (junior member) and the procedural stage, passage is unlikely in the 119th Congress. The funding mechanism is a reduction in mandatory SNAP outlays; the Congressional Budget Office would score savings, but no specific amount is in the bill. If enacted, the largest impact would be on grocery retailers that process a high volume of SNAP transactions. Walmart and Kroger are the top SNAP retailers in the US. Reduced SNAP benefits would directly lower their revenue from food sales. Food manufacturers like Campbell's that depend on retail shelf-stable sales would also see demand soften. However, the impact is small relative to total US grocery spending (~$800B). The legislative timeline: referral to committee, potential markup, then floor vote if it advances; no companion bill in the Senate. Given the current Congress composition and the bill's restrictive nature, further action is unlikely.
