Transitions Puerto Rico to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) from the current consolidated block grant.
The Puerto Rico Nutrition Assistance Fairness Act amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to transition Puerto Rico from the current consolidated block grant to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The bill allows the Secretary of Agriculture to continue implementing the most recent approved consolidated block grant for up to five years after the amendments take effect, or until Puerto Rico completes its transition to SNAP. Puerto Rico must submit a plan of operation to the Secretary within 180 days of the bill's enactment, detailing its transition to SNAP.
