This bill, known as the "COLAs Don't Count Act of 2026," amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to revise how income is considered for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). A key provision is the exclusion of supplementary payments , specifically those described in section 1616(a) of the Social Security Act, which are State supplementary payments provided to recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI). By excluding these payments, the legislation aims to prevent a reduction in SNAP benefits for low-income individuals who receive this additional State assistance. Additionally, the bill modifies the effective date for disregarding cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) to Social Security benefits for SNAP eligibility and benefit calculations, moving it from July 1 to January 1. These changes are designed to enhance the support available to SNAP beneficiaries and will take effect on October 1, 2027.
