Summary
The Affordable Food and Energy Act of 2026 amends the Food and Nutrition Act to let households that get federal or state energy assistance qualify for a standard utility allowance in their nutrition program. It treats energy assistance payments as direct household income and counts related expenses as out‑of‑pocket costs. The change aims to help low‑income families better afford both food and energy costs.
