OH SNAP, Close the Fruit and Vegetable Gap Act of 2023
This bill amends the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program under the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 to increase funding for incentives that help SNAP recipients buy fruits and vegetables. It raises annual funding from $100 million to $500 million for fiscal year 2024, then increases to $750 million for 2026-2027, and $1 billion annually starting in 2028. The program directly affects SNAP participants by providing them with extra benefits - such as doubling their purchase value - for buying fresh produce at grocery stores or farmers' markets. The key change is the significant, multi-year funding boost to expand access to healthy food for low-income households using SNAP.
