A BILL To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to ensure that striking workers and their households do not become ineligible for benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to ensure that striking workers and their households do not become ineligible for benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Specifically, it removes language that previously made striking workers ineligible for SNAP benefits, and instead states that being on strike alone cannot make a worker ineligible for SNAP. The goal is to prevent striking workers and their families from facing food insecurity during labor disputes.
