NEW: We officially have text of the deal between Biden and McCarthy. Here's what's in it for SNAP:

The bill would phase in an age increase 54. This will be phased in over the course of 3 years. FY 23: to age 50 (as is). FY 24: to age 53. FY25: to age 54. And it sunsets in 2030 There are three new exceptions: Youth aging out of foster care (18-24), and veterans and those experiencing homelessness regardless of age. This also ends 2030.
