Increasing Nutrition Access for Seniors Act of 2025

This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act to improve SNAP (food stamp) access for seniors and disabled individuals. It creates a new standard medical deduction: seniors can self-attest to monthly medical expenses over $35, allowing a fixed $155 deduction (adjusted yearly for inflation) to be subtracted from household income when calculating SNAP benefits. States may also set higher deductions if they provide evidence of higher local medical costs. This directly affects seniors and disabled SNAP recipients with medical expenses, making it easier for them to qualify for benefits by reducing their counted income. The changes apply to certification periods starting after the bill's effective date.
