Lets families on Indian reservations get food help from two programs at once

This bill would let households on Indian reservations get food assistance from both the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) at the same time. Currently, they can only choose one. This change would give eligible families more options for food support.

What Would Change

Today, households on Indian reservations who qualify for both the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) must choose to participate in only one.
