HR 4154 United States House · 118th Congress

No Welfare for the Wealthy Act of 2023

This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act to clarify that households must meet existing income and asset limits to qualify for food assistance benefits (like SNAP). It directly affects individuals and families applying for or receiving federal food aid by requiring strict adherence to current eligibility criteria under the law. The key provision explicitly states that households failing to meet these income and resource standards - already part of the program - cannot receive benefits. The amendment takes effect one year after enactment, with existing certification periods unaffected. This change enforces current rules without creating new restrictions.
