Restricts eligibility for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits to lawful permanent residents who have resided in the U.S.

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.
