H.R. 2780
Setting the Table for Transition Act
In plain English
Setting the Table for Transition Act This bill expands eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for households that contain recently separated veterans. Under current law, SNAP eligibility and benefits are calculated on a household basis (not individual), and the household must meet gross income, net income, and asset limits (with exceptions). A household may also qualify through categorical eligibility by participating in other means-tested programs. Under the bill, for a household that includes a member who is a recently separated veteran, only the veteran's personal income is considered when determining SNAP eligibility. Specifically, this applies during the 100-day period that begins upon the date a veteran receives documentation of separation from the military.
