Bill 119 HR 793, also known as the Shelter Expense Deduction Act, aims to make changes to the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. Specifically, this bill seeks to repeal the current limitation on the maximum deduction for shelter expenses that can be used to determine benefits under the Act.
Currently, the Food and Nutrition Act limits the amount of shelter expenses that can be deducted when calculating benefits for individuals and families in need. This limitation can have a negative impact on those who have high shelter expenses, as it may not accurately reflect their financial need.
By repealing this limitation, the Shelter Expense Deduction Act aims to ensure that individuals and families who have high shelter expenses are able to receive the full benefits they need to meet their basic needs. This change could potentially help alleviate financial burdens for those struggling to afford housing and other essential expenses.
Overall, Bill 119 HR 793 seeks to improve the effectiveness of the Food and Nutrition Act by removing barriers that may prevent individuals and families from receiving the assistance they need. This bill is an important step towards ensuring that all Americans have access to the resources necessary to lead healthy and stable lives.
