WASHINGTON STATE — With a final House vote possible on Wednesday, Republicans are closing in on getting their tax and spending cut bill through Congress.

The legislation is a far-reaching array of tax breaks, spending cuts, and other Republican priorities, including new money for national defense and deportations.

The bill also makes it harder to get food stamps for some of the poorest Americans, which means more people could go hungry. It’s also unclear if state officials could shoulder the burden to replace that safety net.

About one in six households rely on SNAP benefits to feed their families in Washington state, but President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” cuts funding for food stamps by 20%.

“My son moved in and I got my grandkids with me and my great-granddaughter, so yes, my food stamps are really in need right now because I do all the cooking," said Tracy Bunnell, a SNAP benefit recipient who lives in Seattle.

Trump's bill would represent a tax reduction for the middle class and the nation's highest earners, but critics like Congressman Rick Larsen, D-Washington, said it would hurt the most destitute who are already struggling to survive.

It's going to be bad for food assistance, and the women and men who volunteer at local food banks are going to be under more pressure. The tax cut is skewed to the richest Americans,” Larsen said, and the provided numbers are specific to his district. “So 14,000 households are losing their food assistance, and that's just the five counties north of Seattle.

Many of the same families who receive SNAP benefits also use Medicaid, but that, too, will be reduced under the tax cut plan.

“That would mean I wouldn't get my medicine,” Bunnell said. “I'm having a hard time because I've got to have a double-knee replacement too, and that would mess me up."

It's unclear how much assistance state officials could provide given their own projected budget deficit of $700 million for the next biennium.

“A state like Washington will have to find that money to make up for the lack of dollars that the federal government would put into it."
