S 2563 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Tribal Access to Nutrition Assistance Act of 2023

The Tribal Access to Nutrition Assistance Act of 2023 requires tribal food distribution programs on Indian reservations to allow eligible households to participate in both tribal food assistance and the federal SNAP program simultaneously. This directly affects Native American households living on or near tribal lands who qualify for either program. The bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to update tribal distribution plan requirements, removing barriers that previously prevented dual enrollment in both programs. This change streamlines access to nutrition assistance without altering program benefits or funding.
