Improving SNAP in 2023 Farm Bill
|
|
Every five years, Congress debates funding levels and eligibility rules for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—the nation’s most effective tool for fighting hunger—as part of the Farm Bill reauthorization. With negotiations for the 2023 Farm Bill underway, CLASP is poised to ensure lawmakers hear our unique insights on strengthening the program. As pandemic-era food assistance winds down, the stakes couldn’t be higher for the 41 million people who rely on SNAP to put food on the table. Sign up to stay current on CLASP’s latest commentary and analysis on SNAP.
