This bill aims to help individuals receiving food assistance (SNAP) transition into employment and increase their income. It authorizes funding for job training and employment programs for unemployed recipients who are not enrolled in other major assistance programs. Furthermore, it allows states to create an online calculator to help citizens determine if accepting a job would be financially better than continuing to receive benefits.
Key points
Expands access to federal job training programs (WIOA) for unemployed or underemployed recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
Authorizes states to develop a public online calculator to help SNAP recipients compare their current benefit amount with potential future employment income.
