Training and Nutrition Stability Act of 2025
This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to exclude certain income from employment and training programs when determining eligibility for nutrition assistance benefits. It specifically excludes earnings from veterans' education programs (like the Post-9/11 GI Bill), employment training programs, vocational rehabilitation, and refugee employment programs. Households with members participating in these programs will no longer have that income counted toward benefit eligibility thresholds. The change directly affects low-income individuals and families receiving nutrition assistance who also participate in these specific workforce development initiatives.
