Food Security for All Veterans Act
The Food Security for All Veterans Act (HR 3870) requires the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Agriculture to jointly produce an annual report on food insecurity among veterans. This report must include detailed data on veterans experiencing food insecurity, broken down by factors like race, gender, disability, location, and tribal affiliation, as well as specific information on how veterans are assisted to access the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It mandates tracking of screening efforts, referrals to nutrition services, and the number of veterans receiving help with SNAP applications. The bill aims to provide Congress and agencies with comprehensive data to better understand and address food insecurity among veterans.
