The SNAP Second Chance Act of 2023 aims to improve the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by helping individuals with criminal records access benefits. The bill allows states to opt into a demonstration program that would provide SNAP benefits to eligible individuals upon release from incarceration. It also requires the USDA to establish guidelines for states participating in the program and report on its outcomes. This bill seeks to reduce food insecurity among formerly incarcerated individuals and facilitate their successful reentry into society.
