Keep Seniors Fed Act

This bill changes how SNAP (food assistance) counts your income. It says money you get from Social Security—like retirement or disability benefits—won’t be counted when SNAP decides if you qualify or how much help you get. This could make it easier for seniors and people with disabilities to get or keep SNAP benefits, or receive a larger amount each month. The change takes effect 90 days after it becomes law.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People in households that get Social Security benefits, especially seniors and people with disabilities.
• What changes: Social Security benefits will not count as income when SNAP checks eligibility and benefit levels.
• When: 90 days after the law is enacted.
