S. 2717 — Student Loan Deduction Act of 2025

This section establishes a deduction under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for monthly student loan payments made by a household member on a student loan of that member or another household member (excluding payments made by a third party). The deduction—which covers federal loans under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 or private education loans (as defined in the Truth in Lending Act)—applies at household certification or recertification beginning 180 days after enactment. (As background, SNAP deductions reduce countable income and thereby increase benefit amounts.)
