SUMMARY:Safeguarding Medicaid and SNAP in the Wake of H.R. 1
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is co-sponsored by Equal Opportunity Funders\, Tax Equity Funders Network\, Grantmakers In Health\, and Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders.  \nAs H.R. 1 begins to reshape the landscape of safety programs\, charitable foundations face a pivotal moment. The legislation delivers sweeping tax cuts to corporations and high-income earners—while dramatically reducing funding for essential programs like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). These cuts threaten the well-being of millions of families\, children\, and seniors\, and shift the financial burden to already overstretched state and local governments. \nNow more than ever\, philanthropic organizations must act swiftly and strategically to mitigate harm. A key opportunity lies in supporting states as they navigate urgent administrative and implementation challenges—ensuring vulnerable populations don’t fall through the cracks. \n\nSpeakers Included: \n\nTim Shaw\, Director\, Benefits Transformation Initiative at the Aspen Institute’s Financial Security Program\n\nTogether\, they shared efforts of the Digital Benefits Leadership Council\, a civic tech initiative designed to preserve and improve access to public benefits\, and how foundations can support efforts to reduce benefits loss for millions in the short term and leverage this moment to modernize the benefits delivery infrastructure for the future. \n\nResources from the webinar:  \n\nWebinar Recording\nSlides HR1 Funder Briefing – EOF\nHR1 Implementation Assistance – TA Overview – November 2025\nGeorgetown Analysis of SNAP HR1 Budget Impacts (state level data)\nCBPP’s Analysis of State-by-State Medicaid Work Requirements Impacts\n\nResources from Ariel Kennan of the Digital Benefits Network at Georgetown’s Beeck Center:  \n\n\n\nResource Library: Beeck has launched a new H.R. 1 Implementation section on our Digital Government Hub\, featuring a suite of practical resources for state and local governments on SNAP payment error rate reduction\, Medicaid work requirements\, and other important policy and system changes. \n\n\nTechnical Assistance: Through our Digital Benefits Leadership Council\, we’re partnering with other leading civic tech organizations and philanthropy to drive a coordinated response and align technical assistance efforts to support governments currently making H.R 1-related benefits system updates. We’re happy to provide more information about services and contact information for organizations that are partnering on this collaborative effort. \n\nResearch Insights: Our latest research on implementing integrated benefits eligibility and enrollment systems (IEEs) highlights seven key trends from state leaders adapting their systems to new federal requirements\, including managing SNAP and Medicaid policy and technology changes.
