A bill to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to exclude as income certain payments received by household members from certain employment programs, and for other purposes.

This bill would change the rules for food assistance (SNAP) so that money people receive from certain job training programs would not count as income when deciding if they qualify for benefits. Right now, having too much income can make someone ineligible for SNAP, and this bill says that allowances, earnings, and payments from programs like workforce training, vocational rehabilitation, and refugee employment programs should not be counted toward that income limit. It would also stop requiring that money earned from on-the-job training be counted as income when figuring out if someone qualifies for SNAP.
