Bill overview
The SNAP PLUS Act of 2021 aims to make the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) more flexible by allowing recipients to use their benefits to purchase prepared foods and hot foods. Currently, SNAP benefits were limited in what types of food could be purchased. This bill expands the types of food eligible for SNAP purchases, potentially reducing the financial burden on recipients and increasing access to convenient meal options. It also includes provisions to encourage retailers to offer more prepared foods.
