What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill changes the rules for food assistance (SNAP) so that workers who are on strike during a labor dispute, and their families, can still qualify for benefits. Right now, most striking workers can only get SNAP if they were already receiving it before the strike, and they cannot get extra help even if they are earning less money because of the strike. This bill removes both of those restrictions. It also changes the rule for government employees who are fired for going on strike, so they and their families would no longer be automatically blocked from getting SNAP benefits.
