HR 2780 United States House · 119th Congress

Setting the Table for Transition Act

This bill temporarily expands food assistance eligibility for households including recently separated veterans. During a 100-day period starting when a veteran receives their military separation document (DD-214), only the veteran's income is counted toward determining SNAP (food assistance) eligibility. This means households with a veteran member will qualify for benefits based solely on the veteran's income during this transition period, rather than the combined household income. The change directly affects veterans transitioning from military to civilian life and their households during their initial 100 days of civilian status. The bill takes effect 90 days after enactment.
