This bill, titled the "No Welfare for the Wealthy Act of 2025," aims to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 by closing a nominal benefits loophole. It specifically revises Section 5(a) to mandate that all households must meet established income and resource criteria , as outlined in subsections (c) and (g) of the Act, to be eligible for benefits. This change ensures that only those who satisfy the financial thresholds can receive assistance, thereby preventing households not meeting these criteria from receiving benefits. The Act is designed to take effect one year after its enactment . However, the amendment will not apply to certification periods that began before this effective date.
