HR 6657 United States House · 118th Congress

Securing Strictly Needy Americans’ Pivotal (SNAP) Benefits Act of 2023

This bill amends SNAP (food stamp) program rules to prevent misuse. It requires states to suspend SNAP benefits for households making exclusively out-of-state purchases via EBT cards for over 60 days unless they prove they still reside in the state. It also prohibits households with members who own approved retail food stores or wholesale food businesses from using SNAP benefits at those locations (except for publicly owned stores or government entities). The changes take effect one year after enactment.
