This resolution asks Kentucky's state legislature to formally call on the U.S. Congress to restore a rule that previously protected veterans from being cut off from food assistance benefits due to work-related time limits. Under current federal law, able-bodied adults without dependents must meet certain work requirements to continue receiving food assistance, and this resolution urges that veterans be exempted from those limits as they once were. Who it may affect: Kentucky veterans who receive or may seek food assistance benefits through the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
