In Committee

Summary

Restores veterans' exemption from the SNAP work requirement. This bill would amend section 6(o)(3) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to add a new exempt category, (H) "a veteran", so veterans would be excluded from the work participation rule that applies to able-bodied adults without dependents. The measure is titled the Feed Our Veterans Act and makes this single statutory change without adding new programs or funding in the text provided.
