Puerto Rico Nutrition Assistance Fairness Act of 2023

This bill amends the federal Food and Nutrition Act to allow Puerto Rico to transition from its current nutrition assistance system to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides federal benefits to low-income households. It requires Puerto Rico to submit a transition plan to the U.S. Department of Agriculture within 60 days, with the agency having 180 days to approve it. Puerto Rico would operate under a 5-year transition period from its existing block grant system, during which the federal government must provide technical assistance and annual reporting. The bill directly affects Puerto Rico residents eligible for nutrition assistance and modifies federal funding formulas to support this transition.
