Training and Nutrition Stability

Sponsored By: Representative Espaillat, Adriano [D-NY-13]

Introduced

Summary

Excludes certain training and rehabilitation payments from SNAP income calculations. This bill would change the Food and Nutrition Act so that allowances, earnings, and payments made to household members participating in specified employment and training programs, programs established under section 6(d)(4), vocational rehabilitation under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, or refugee employment programs under section 412(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act would not count as income for SNAP.

Show full summary
  • Households with members in employment and training programs would have those program payments excluded when SNAP calculates income. That could increase monthly benefits or help some households meet eligibility rules.
  • People in vocational rehabilitation programs would not have program payments counted as income for SNAP. That reduces the chance those earnings lower benefit amounts.
  • Refugee households in employment programs under section 412(c) would see those payments excluded from SNAP income. That could improve access for refugees participating in work programs.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

SNAP would ignore training earnings

If enacted, SNAP would not count certain training or program payments as income. This would include allowances or earnings from SNAP work programs, state vocational rehabilitation, and refugee employment programs. That could lower your countable income and raise your monthly SNAP amount, or help you qualify. The bill does not set dates or dollar amounts.

Would repeal a SNAP rule

The bill would remove subsection (l) from a SNAP eligibility section. The text does not say what this rule did. Effects on households could be positive, negative, or none, depending on agency action. No dates, dollar amounts, or funding are included.
