Dossier Legislative introduced 19-sep-2023
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Food Secure Strikers Act of 2023

Key claim: The Food Secure Strikers Act of 2023 would repeal federal restrictions that disqualify households from receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits when an adult member is participating in a strike.

Abstract

(HR4845 · 118th Congress) Latest action (2023-09-19): Referred to the Subcommittee on Nutrition, Foreign Agriculture, and Horticulture.

Why this matters

The proposal would remove a strike-related barrier to USDA food assistance for otherwise eligible workers and their households, potentially supporting grocery purchasing during a loss of wages. The finding establishes no direct effect on farmers or food prices, and committee referral does not change current SNAP rules.
