Hot rotisserie chicken would become an eligible food purchase under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which currently bars most hot prepared foods from being bought with benefits. The change would let roughly 42 million SNAP recipients use their benefits on rotisserie chicken sold at grocery stores. The bill makes only this single addition to the federal definition of eligible food and makes no other changes to SNAP rules or funding levels.
