Purpose and Summary
Chamber: House
Introduced date: 2025-03-18
Bill 119 HR 2195, also known as the "Veterans SNAP Benefit Expansion Act," aims to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to broaden the eligibility ...
criteria for disabled veterans to receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Currently, SNAP benefits are available to low-income individuals and families who meet certain income and resource requirements. However, this bill seeks to specifically target disabled veterans who may be struggling to make ends meet and provide them with additional support through the SNAP program. By expanding the eligibility of disabled veterans to receive SNAP benefits, this legislation aims to ensure that those who have served our country and are facing financial hardship have access to the necessary resources to put food on the table for themselves and their families. Overall, the Veterans SNAP Benefit Expansion Act is a bipartisan effort to support and honor our disabled veterans by providing them with the assistance they need to meet their basic nutritional needs.
