Summary
The bill amends the Emergency Food Assistance Act so that states meeting certain eligibility criteria can choose to receive cash instead of USDA‑purchased food. With that cash, the states can purchase commodities themselves through private suppliers. This gives states more flexibility in providing emergency food assistance to low‑income residents.
