SNAP Online Access Act of 2026
To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 authorize the use of benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program for online grocery purchases, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB7469, aims to expand the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to include the use of benefits for online grocery purchases. This means people who receive SNAP benefits could use them to buy groceries over the internet, making it more convenient to shop for food. This change would affect all SNAP recipients who want to use their benefits online.
The bill was introduced on February 10, 2026, and it was immediately referred to the House Committee on Agriculture. This committee will review the bill, hold hearings if necessary, and decide whether to recommend it for further action in the House. If approved by the committee, the bill would move to the full House for a vote.
Key actions so far include the introduction of the bill and its referral to the appropriate committee. The bill is in its early stages, and further steps will depend on the committee's review and recommendations.
