Lets people on food assistance deduct all their housing costs for more benefits
This bill would remove the current limit on how much people can deduct for rent or mortgage when applying for food assistance. This change could mean higher monthly food benefits for individuals and families with high housing expenses. The goal is to make sure more of their actual costs are considered.
Today, there is a maximum limit on how much of their housing costs people can deduct when their SNAP benefits are calculated. This bill would remove that limit, allowing people to deduct the full amount of their qualifying shelter expenses. This change could result in higher food assistance benefits for those with significant housing costs.
