Bill > S1156

This bill, known as the "Food Secure Strikers Act of 2025," amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to modify eligibility rules for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families. Specifically, the bill changes existing language to ensure that workers who are on strike do not become automatically ineligible for SNAP benefits. The legislation removes previous restrictions that would have disqualified striking workers from receiving food assistance and revises the legal language to make it clear that being on strike should not be a grounds for losing SNAP benefits. By making these changes, the bill aims to provide additional financial support and food security for workers who are temporarily without income due to labor disputes, helping to protect their basic nutritional needs during periods of workplace conflict or negotiation.
