Dossier Legislative introduced 20-jul-2023
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Improving Access to Nutrition Act of 2023

Key claim: This bill would expand Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility by permanently repealing the three-month benefit time limit for unemployed and underemployed adults without dependents.

Abstract

(S2435 · 118th Congress) Latest action (2023-07-20): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.

Why this matters

Repealing the time limit would allow otherwise-eligible adults affected by it to retain SNAP benefits longer, supporting their ability to purchase food during unemployment or underemployment. The proposal did not advance beyond committee referral, so it produced no eligibility change; the finding establishes no effect on farmers or food prices.
