Bill overview
The Bridging the SNAP Gap Act of 2023 aims to make the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) more accessible to a wider range of people. It expands eligibility by allowing income from students aged 21 or younger to be excluded from SNAP calculations and broadens the medical expense deduction to include all individuals, not just seniors or those with disabilities. The bill also clarifies how the medical expense deduction is calculated, linking it to Medicare premium rates while allowing states to set higher amounts if they meet certain cost standards.
