HR 416 United States House · 119th Congress

No Welfare for the Wealthy Act of 2025

This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to clarify that households must meet existing income and resource criteria to receive food assistance benefits. It directly affects households applying for or receiving SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits under the Food and Nutrition Act. The key provision explicitly states that eligibility requires compliance with current income and asset standards, reinforcing existing rules rather than creating new restrictions. The amendment takes effect one year after enactment, with existing benefit certifications unaffected if they began before that date.
