The Snap Delivery Modernization Act of 2025 proposes to enhance food access for recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) . Its primary objective is to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to permit the use of SNAP benefits for covering the costs associated with food delivery services. The legislation defines "Delivery platform or delivery services provider" to include entities that facilitate online food sales or delivery from retail stores. By modifying sections 3 and 7 of the Act, the bill explicitly allows SNAP benefits to be applied to related fees for food delivery , whether charged by the retail food store or a third-party delivery platform. This aims to modernize the SNAP program, making it more adaptable to current food purchasing trends and reducing barriers to obtaining groceries for beneficiaries.
