Snap Delivery Modernization Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Fields, Cleo [D-LA-6]

In Committee

Summary

This bill would let SNAP recipients use benefits to pay delivery fees and it defines who counts as a delivery platform for SNAP purchases. It changes parts of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to add a delivery platform definition and to exclude delivery-related fees from certain statutory cost calculations, so benefits can be applied to delivery costs tied to food bought from retail stores.

Show full summary
  • Families and households on SNAP: Could use benefits to cover delivery fees for food purchased from retail food stores, increasing access to delivered groceries.
  • Delivery platforms and retailers: A new legal definition covers entities that facilitate online sales or deliver food, including first-party services or third-party contractors, clarifying who can participate in SNAP-enabled deliveries.
  • SNAP program administration: Edits to sections 3 and 7(k) remove or change language about delivery fees so those charges are excluded from specific calculations or determinations that previously limited their treatment.

More grocery help for SNAP families

This bill would let SNAP benefits cover related delivery fees when you buy food from a retail store for delivery. It would add a clear definition of "delivery platform or delivery services provider" so who can deliver or arrange delivery is spelled out. It would also change SNAP rules so delivery fees are not counted as a "charge" or "purchase" in certain program calculations. If enacted, these changes would take effect upon enactment.
