This bill temporarily expands Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) income eligibility for households that include certain veterans, aiming to support their transition from military service. For a 100-day period starting when a veteran receives their Report of Separation (DD form 214), only that veteran's income will be considered when determining their household's SNAP eligibility, a significant departure from standard household income calculations. This provision applies to individuals who served in the active military, naval, or air service and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, and is designed to provide financial assistance during a critical post-service period. The temporary measure will take effect 90 days after the bill's enactment.
