Bill overview
The Food Secure Strikers Act of 2025 aims to protect the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility for workers who are on strike due to labor disputes and their households. It removes restrictions that currently prevent SNAP eligibility if a household member is striking or if a government employee is dismissed for striking. The bill also expands SNAP eligibility for government employees who are dismissed for participating in a strike against the government. This ensures that striking workers and their families can continue to receive SNAP benefits if they otherwise qualify.
Key provisions
- Removes restrictions on SNAP eligibility for households with striking workers.
- Allows government employees dismissed for striking to maintain SNAP eligibility.
- Replaces the current prohibition on SNAP eligibility based on striking with a provision allowing participation.
- Eliminates the rule that considers dismissal for striking as voluntary quitting without good cause for SNAP purposes.
- Specifically addresses eligibility for households with striking workers and government employees dismissed for striking.
Who is affected
- Striking workers
- Households of striking workers
- Government employees who strike
- SNAP recipients
- Low-income individuals and families
Notable changes
- Replaces current restrictions on SNAP eligibility for striking workers.
- Eliminates the rule regarding voluntary quitting for government employees dismissed for striking.
