3/17/2025, 12:38 PM

Summary of Bill HR 1411

Bill 119 HR 1411, also known as the "Food Assistance for Veterans Act of 2021," aims to ensure that veterans transitioning out of the military are informed about and have access to federal food assistance programs. The bill requires that information and counseling regarding these programs be provided as part of the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) that helps veterans adjust to civilian life.

The bill recognizes that many veterans face challenges in accessing nutritious food and may not be aware of the various federal food assistance programs available to them. By including information and counseling on these programs in the TAP, veterans will be better equipped to meet their basic needs and maintain their health and well-being as they transition to civilian life.

This legislation is non-partisan and focuses on providing practical support to veterans in need. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring that those who have served our country have access to the resources they need to thrive in their post-military lives.
