Dossier Legislative introduced 26-jul-2023
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Food Secure Strikers Act of 2023

Key claim: The legislation would repeal federal statutory restrictions that disqualify striking workers and their households from receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits during labor disputes.

Abstract

(S2553 · 118th Congress) Latest action (2023-07-26): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.

Why this matters

The proposal would remove a strike-related barrier to food assistance for otherwise eligible workers and their households, potentially helping them maintain grocery purchasing power during labor disputes. It remains at the introduction and committee-referral stage, so this finding establishes no change in benefits and no demonstrated effect on farmers or food prices.
