## Summary

**Protects striking workers' SNAP eligibility.** This bill would change the Food and Nutrition Act to remove one listed disqualification and to reword eligibility checks so ineligibility is tied explicitly to being on strike. - Striking workers and their households: Would make it harder for workers on strike and their households to be disqualified from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by eliminating a specific disqualification and removing the prior proviso. - SNAP eligibility rules: Rewrites Section 6(d) by removing the clause now numbered (iv), renumbering the remaining subclauses, and replacing paragraph (3)'s wording to substitute phrases and strike the old proviso so ineligibility depends on "being on strike."
