This bill would change the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to restore an exemption for veterans from a work requirement that applies to participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It amends section 6(o)(3) by adding a new exempt category: "a veteran." The bill was introduced in the House on February 4, 2026, and was referred to the Subcommittee on Nutrition and Foreign Agriculture.
If this bill becomes law, veterans would be listed among groups who do not have to meet SNAP's work requirement to get benefits. The text only adds veterans to the exemption list; it does not change other SNAP eligibility rules in the provided text.
