Bill overview
This bill, the Puerto Rico Nutrition Assistance Fairness Act, aims to integrate the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico into the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to officially include Puerto Rico as an eligible state and establishes a process for the island to develop a plan for transitioning to SNAP. The bill also extends a consolidated block grant to Puerto Rico for a transitional period, allowing for a gradual shift away from the existing grant system.
