Bill > HR416

This bill aims to close the "nominal benefits loophole" in the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, which provides federal nutrition assistance (commonly known as food stamps). The bill would amend the existing law to explicitly state that households must meet specific income and resource criteria to be eligible for benefits, effectively preventing households from receiving benefits if they do not qualify based on those criteria. The bill, named the "No Welfare for the Wealthy Act of 2025", would take effect one year after its enactment, and the amendment would not apply to certification periods that began before the effective date. The primary goal appears to be tightening eligibility requirements to ensure that only households meeting specific financial need standards can receive nutrition assistance benefits.
