Food Secure Strikers Act of 2025
# Food Secure Strikers Act of 2025 - Plain Language Summary **What the bill does:** This legislation would change the rules for food assistance (SNAP/food stamps) to help workers who go on strike. Currently, if someone in a household goes on strike, they can lose food assistance benefits or be denied an increase in benefits due to lost strike income. This bill would allow striking workers and their households to keep or obtain SNAP benefits regardless of the strike, and would allow them to receive increased benefits if their household income drops due to the strike. It also extends these protections to government employees who are fired for striking. **Who it affects and key provisions:** The bill primarily helps low-income households that include someone participating in a labor strike or a government employee terminated for striking. It removes two current restrictions: one that generally cuts off SNAP benefits during strikes (unless the family was already receiving them), and another that prevents increased benefit amounts when strike-related income loss occurs. Essentially, it treats striking workers' lost income the same way the program treats other income reductions. **Current status:** The bill (HR 2357) was introduced by Representative Alma S. Adams (D-NC) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
