Summary
This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to transition Puerto Rico from its current consolidated block grant nutrition assistance program to the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The bill establishes a 180-day process for Puerto Rico to submit a plan of operation and requires the Secretary of Agriculture to approve or deny the plan within 180 days, with a 5-year transition period during which Puerto Rico may continue operating under the block grant while implementing SNAP. After the transition period ends, Puerto Rico would operate as a full SNAP state, and American Samoa would receive 100 percent of the previously allocated Puerto Rico block grant funds for its nutrition assistance program.
