Bill overview
This bill, the Supportive Living Food Access Protection Act of 2020, changes how the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) defines a ‘household.’ Specifically, it expands SNAP eligibility to include older adults (60 or older) and individuals receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or disability payments who live in residential care facilities funded by state agencies. The bill also clarifies that a spouse living in the same residential care facility is considered part of the household for SNAP purposes. Finally, it extends a review period for program operations to one year after the bill’s enactment.
