S 2553 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Food Secure Strikers Act of 2023

This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act to change SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) eligibility rules for workers on strike. It removes a provision that automatically made workers ineligible for SNAP benefits "at any time that" they participated in a strike, replacing it with a clearer rule stating workers are ineligible "as a result of being on strike." The change directly affects workers participating in labor strikes, ensuring SNAP eligibility is tied specifically to their current strike status rather than past participation. The amendment clarifies existing law without creating new benefits or altering other SNAP requirements.
