HR 6916 United States House · 118th Congress

To require the Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report regarding outreach provided to veterans about the availability of supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008.

HR 6916 requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study how states outreach to veterans about SNAP benefits. Specifically, it directs the GAO to examine state efforts in high and low food insecurity areas, including coordination with Veterans Health Administration facilities and veteran service organizations (VSOs), to identify challenges and best practices for connecting eligible veterans to SNAP. The report, due within 18 months of enactment, will focus on increasing enrollment among veterans who qualify but are not currently participating. This bill directly affects veterans who may be eligible for SNAP but face barriers to accessing benefits.
