Save Medicaid, SNAP, TANF and the Social Services Block Grant

The Budget Reconciliation process that is expected to include massive cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and TANF, and elimination of the Social Services Block Grant is underway in the Congress. All of these programs support the health and well-being of vulnerable children and their families, persons with disabilities, older adults, and their family and kinship caregivers.

The National Respite Coalition is a member of the Children’s Budget Coalition, which is circulating a letter for national, state and local organization sign ons. The letter urges Members of Congress to protect investments for children and reject damaging cuts and structural changes being proposed for Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, and the Social Services Block Grant programs in the reconciliation process.

Have your organization sign onto the letter here. Deadline to sign on is Friday, May 2, COB.
