Keep Seniors Fed Act

This legislative proposal seeks to modify the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. Its primary objective is to exclude specific funds received under Title II of the Social Security Act from being counted as income when determining eligibility and benefit levels for food assistance programs. By amending Section 5(d) of the Food and Nutrition Act, the bill ensures that these Social Security benefits will no longer reduce an individual's access to vital food support. This change is intended to provide greater financial relief and improve food security for beneficiaries, especially seniors, who rely on both Social Security and food assistance. The provisions of this Act, along with its amendments, are slated to become effective 90 days following its enactment.
