Food Secure Strikers Act of 2025

Bill 119 s 1156, also known as the "Striking Workers Access to SNAP Benefits Act," aims to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to prevent striking workers and their households from losing eligibility for benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The bill seeks to ensure that individuals who are participating in a strike do not face additional financial hardship by being disqualified from receiving SNAP benefits.

The bill recognizes that striking workers and their families may already be facing financial strain due to the loss of income during a strike, and that denying them access to SNAP benefits could exacerbate their economic challenges. By amending the Food and Nutrition Act, the bill aims to protect the food security of striking workers and their households, ensuring that they have access to the nutrition assistance they need during difficult times.

In addition to addressing the issue of SNAP eligibility for striking workers, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to the administration of the program. Overall, the "Striking Workers Access to SNAP Benefits Act" seeks to provide support and assistance to individuals and families who are experiencing financial hardship as a result of participating in a strike.
