The bill establishes the Veterans Assistance for Nutritional Needs Program within the Division of Family Development in the Department of Human Services (DHS). This program is a rebranding of the existing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that aims to promote and provide benefits exclusively to veterans. The bill outlines that all eligibility requirements, benefits, and funding for the new program will align with those of SNAP. To implement this program, the DHS is tasked with creating promotional materials, issuing electronic benefits transfer cards branded for the new program, developing a dedicated website, and collaborating with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to disseminate information about the program to county Veteran Service Offices.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that its provisions will not change the eligibility, benefits, or funding of SNAP, nor will it alter any existing promotional materials or websites associated with SNAP. It explicitly states that the Veterans Assistance for Nutritional Needs Program will not replace SNAP but will serve as a targeted initiative to increase veterans' access to food assistance benefits. The bill aims to address the issue of food insecurity among veterans, as research indicates that a significant percentage of veterans do not have enough food, yet many are not enrolled in SNAP.
