OH SNAP, Close the Fruit and Vegetable Gap Act of 2023
This bill increases funding for the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program, which helps SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) participants buy fruits and vegetables. It raises annual funding from $100 million to $500 million for 2024-2025, $750 million for 2026-2027, and $1 billion annually starting in 2028. The program provides matching dollars - typically $1 for $1 - when SNAP recipients purchase eligible fruits and vegetables at participating stores. This directly affects low-income SNAP households by making fresh produce more affordable through expanded financial incentives.
