Senior Hunger Prevention Act of 2026

This bill makes changes to several food assistance programs to help older adults and adults with disabilities get enough to eat. It lets certain households stay enrolled in SNAP (food stamps) for 36 months instead of 24 months, increases some benefit amounts, and creates a simpler application process for elderly or disabled households with no earned income. The bill also sets up partnerships to deliver free or low-cost food to SNAP participants and expands programs like the Commodity Supplemental Food Program and the Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program to include adults with disabilities. Additionally, it requires the Department of Agriculture to create new grant programs related to these efforts.
