Setting the Table for Transition Act
This bill temporarily expands SNAP (food assistance) eligibility for households including recently separated veterans. For 100 days after a veteran receives their discharge paperwork (DD-214), only the veteran's income is counted toward household eligibility under SNAP rules, ignoring other household members' income. It directly affects veteran households transitioning from military service during this 100-day period. The provision takes effect 90 days after the bill is enacted.
