HR 5718 United States House · 119th Congress

SNAP Back Act of 2025

The SNAP Back Act of 2025 expands eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by adding three new categories of individuals who would qualify as part of a "household" under the Food and Nutrition Act. It directly affects homeless individuals, veterans, and young adults (24 or younger) who were in foster care under state responsibility until age 18 or older. The bill amends Section 6(o) of the Food and Nutrition Act to include these groups in the existing definition of eligible households, removing barriers to food assistance. This change would allow these specific populations to access SNAP benefits under the same rules as current eligible groups.
