Bill overview
The Senior Hunger Prevention Act of 2026 aims to expand and improve nutrition programs for older adults and adults with disabilities. It proposes extending SNAP and CSFP eligibility certification periods to 36 months for households with only elderly or disabled members, increases the standard medical expense deduction, streamlines SNAP application processes, and expands the Seniors Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program. The bill also establishes pilot programs to improve outreach and enrollment in these programs, particularly for kinship families and adults with disabilities, and creates a system for covering food delivery costs for eligible participants.
