Overview
This bill establishes the Veterans Assistance for Nutritional Needs Program within the Department of Human Services (DHS). It rebrands the existing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to specifically provide benefits to veterans, ensuring it aligns with current eligibility requirements and funding. The program will utilize new branding, promotional materials, and electronic benefits transfer cards, and collaborate with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to ensure veterans are aware of the program’s availability. Importantly, the bill maintains the existing SNAP structure and does not replace it.
