This bill adds hot rotisserie chicken to the list of foods that can be bought with SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. Under current law, hot prepared foods are generally excluded from SNAP, even though raw and refrigerated foods are covered. The change would let the roughly 42 million Americans on SNAP use their benefits to buy ready-to-eat rotisserie chicken at grocery stores. The rest of the SNAP food definition is unchanged.
