This bill proposes amendments to the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, with the primary goal of protecting the eligibility of striking workers for federal food assistance. Its core purpose is to prevent individuals and their households from being disqualified from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) solely due to their participation in a labor strike. The legislation achieves this by modifying Section 6(d) of the Act, specifically by striking existing language that currently renders striking workers ineligible for benefits. These changes ensure that individuals engaged in a strike can continue to access essential food assistance, thereby promoting food security during periods of labor action.
