Training and Nutrition Stability

This bill changes how income is counted when people apply for SNAP food assistance. Currently, money from certain job training programs counts as income, which can make people ineligible for SNAP benefits. The bill would exclude funds from specific employment and training programs from being counted as income, including programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, vocational rehabilitation programs, and refugee employment programs. The bill also removes the rule that earnings from on-the-job training count as income when determining SNAP eligibility.
