Restricts eligibility for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits to lawful permanent residents who have resided in the U.S.
The SNAP Citizenship and Residency Act of 2026 amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to limit eligibility for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Under this bill, only aliens who are lawful permanent residents and have resided in the United States for at least 10 years can participate in SNAP. This change aims to ensure that only long-term residents benefit from the program.
