Bill information
Summary
To amend the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 to provide funding for the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would increase funding for the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program, which gives money to help low-income people buy more fresh fruits and vegetables through SNAP benefits (formerly called food stamps). The program currently offers limited funding to states and organizations that run incentive programs. The bill aims to close what lawmakers call the 'fruit and vegetable gap'—the fact that SNAP participants buy fewer fresh produce items than wealthier Americans. The bill was introduced in the House and is currently awaiting review.
