Bill overview
The Improving Access to Nutrition Act of 2021 aims to remove work requirements for recipients of SNAP benefits. This bill seeks to address widespread food insecurity, particularly among children and minority groups, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It repeals specific work requirements that could lead to reduced or terminated SNAP benefits for able-bodied adults without dependent children. The legislation also includes provisions to support states in providing work opportunities and make adjustments to the SNAP program’s administrative processes.
