Food Secure Strikers Act of 2025
United States119th CongressHR-2357House of Representatives
Updated: Apr 18, 2025
Summary
This legislation proposes to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, aiming to protect the eligibility of striking workers for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The bill seeks to ensure that individuals and their households do not lose access to essential food assistance benefits solely because of their involvement in a labor strike. The measure specifically modifies Section 6(d) of the Act by eliminating a clause that currently renders striking workers ineligible for SNAP. It further revises the language to explicitly state that participation in a strike will not result in a household's ineligibility for the program, thereby preventing food insecurity for families during labor disputes.
