Summary
What This Bill Does: This bill, called the No Veteran Should Go Hungry Act of 2025, adds information about Federal food assistance programs to the Transition Assistance Program for veterans. The goal is to help veterans learn about and access these programs during their transition back into civilian life.
Who Benefits and How:
- Veterans: They receive detailed information about federal food assistance programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children), helping them understand how to apply and what benefits they're eligible for.
- Their Families: By providing better access to food assistance, this bill helps support veterans' families financially.
Who Bears the Burden and How:
- There's no direct cost or burden on specific groups. However, implementing this change might require some additional resources and coordination between the Department of Defense (which runs the Transition Assistance Program) and the Department of Agriculture (which oversees food assistance programs).
Key Provisions:
- The bill amends section 1142(b) of title 10, United States Code, to include information about Federal food assistance programs in the Transition Assistance Program.
- This information is developed and provided in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture.
