House passes amendment allowing SNAP recipients to purchase hot rotisserie chicken
The House of Representatives voted 384-35 on Thursday to pass an amendment to the farm bill that would allow Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients to use benefits to purchase hot rotisserie chicken at grocery stores. Previously, SNAP rules prohibited the purchase of hot or ready-to-eat food items. The amendment, introduced by Rep. Rick Crawford (R-AR), received bipartisan support with 196 Democrats and 187 Republicans voting in favor.
