Improving Access to Nutrition Act of 2026

Introduced·2/12/26

Repeals work requirement for able-bodied adults in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

The Improving Access to Nutrition Act of 2026 aims to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 by repealing the work requirement that disqualifies able-bodied adults from participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The bill highlights that work requirements disproportionately affect Black Americans and families experiencing homelessness, increasing their vulnerability. It also notes that work requirements do not reduce poverty and can jeopardize children's health and development.
