AN ACT CONCERNING FOOD ASSISTANCE FOR VETERANS.

Summary

The measure rewrites Connecticut's SNAP rules to let the state seek a federal waiver that removes the three‑month work‑requirement limit for people living in high‑unemployment areas, and it guarantees veterans the same benefit level they had before a work‑requirement was removed. It also establishes a new program that gives vouchers for fresh, locally grown produce to veterans age 60 or older who are in elderly housing, congregate meals, or identified as nutritionally at risk. The changes aim to improve food security for veterans and support local farmers.
