Improving Access to Nutrition Act of 2023

S 2435, the Improving Access to Nutrition Act of 2023, eliminates work requirements for participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This change directly affects approximately 6.1 million individuals currently subject to SNAP work requirements, particularly vulnerable populations including families with children and people with health barriers that prevent meeting such requirements. The bill amends Section 6 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to remove these requirements and includes necessary conforming changes to related laws. By eliminating these requirements, the bill aims to increase SNAP participation and access to food assistance without adding administrative barriers. The law would take effect 180 days after enactment.
