Bill information
Summary
To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to require adjustments to the thrifty food plan to be budget-neutral, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change how the federal government updates the Thrifty Food Plan, which sets food benefit amounts for SNAP (food stamps). Currently, officials can adjust these benefit amounts based on changing food costs. This bill would require any adjustments to cost the same amount of money as before—meaning if some food costs go up, other benefits would have to go down to stay budget-neutral. The bill was introduced in the House and is currently awaiting review.
