SHOPP Act
The SHOPP Act (HR 3127) expands the types of healthy foods SNAP participants can buy with their benefits. It allows fresh frozen fruits and vegetables to count toward nutrition incentives year-round and adds legumes (like beans and lentils) to the list of eligible items. This directly affects SNAP recipients by increasing access to affordable, nutritious options beyond just fresh produce. The changes take effect March 6, 2024, modifying the 2008 Food, Conservation, and Energy Act.
