HR 2780 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Setting the Table for Transition Act
To temporarily expand the supplemental nutrition assistance program income eligibility of households that include certain veterans.
Summary
The bill temporarily expands income eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for households that include a recently separated veteran. For a 100-day period beginning when a veteran receives their discharge paperwork, the household's SNAP eligibility will be determined using only the veteran's income, not the income of other household members. This provision is designed to provide temporary nutrition assistance support during the veteran's transition out of military service. The bill takes effect 90 days after enactment.
