SNAP is going to be a major topic in the #neleg in 2026. As many of us gather for food, friends, and family for the holidays, let’s not forget the essential role SNAP plays in providing basic needs assistance to Nebraska communities - the majority of whom are disabled, elderly, or children.

‼️Gov Pillen announced that Nebraska will be the first in the nation to move forward with implementing work requirements for Medicaid as passed in H.R.1.
This is a mistake. Our state should take its time to implement the reqs so all eligible Nebraskans maintain the health care coverage they need.
