Updates the Food and Nutrition Act (SNAP) to recognize disability status based on Department of Veterans Affairs (Title 38) disability ratings. This means people with qualifying VA-rated disabilities will be treated as “disabled” for SNAP-related rules.
It also makes minor conforming edits to related SNAP text. All changes take effect October 1, 2030, giving USDA and states time to update policies, systems, and training.
Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
Introduced March 18, 2025 by Jahana Hayes · Last progress March 18, 2025
