What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill would change the rules for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to allow striking workers and their families to get or keep food assistance benefits. Currently, households generally cannot get SNAP if someone in the family is on strike, unless they were already getting SNAP before the strike started. The bill would remove this restriction so striking workers' families could qualify for SNAP benefits. The bill would also allow government employees who get fired for going on strike to keep their SNAP eligibility, since current law treats them as people who quit their jobs without a good reason.
