HR 1765 United States House · 118th Congress

SNAP Benefits Fairness Act of 2023

The SNAP Benefits Fairness Act of 2023 amends a specific provision in the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to remove a rule that previously limited eligibility for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. It directly affects individuals applying for or receiving SNAP benefits by eliminating a barrier related to certain income or asset calculations. The key change involves striking a subsection (formerly (B)) and renumbering subsequent sections in the eligibility rules. This amendment will take effect on January 1 following the bill's enactment.
