Food Secure Strikers Act of 2025
This bill changes SNAP (food stamp) eligibility rules for workers participating in strikes. It directly affects workers who are on strike by removing an exception that previously allowed them to keep SNAP benefits during labor actions. The key change removes language that let striking workers remain eligible, now making them ineligible to participate in SNAP solely because they are on strike. This is a concrete policy shift in the Food and Nutrition Act, changing who qualifies for food assistance during labor disputes.
