Summary
The Puerto Rico Nutrition Assistance Fairness Act amends the Food and Nutrition Act to let Puerto Rico join the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) like the states. It adds Puerto Rico to definitions, eligibility lists, and cost‑adjustment formulas, and sets a timeline for transitioning away from the current block‑grant model. The change aims to give Puerto Rico the same nutrition benefits and flexibility that SNAP provides to other states.
