Rep. Jill Tokuda on Keep Kupuna Fed Act

Representative Jill Tokuda spoke about her recently introduced bill, the Keep Kupuna Fed Act, on the Floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill would exempt Title II Social Security benefits (Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance) from the SNAP program’s income eligibility requirements to ensure that kupuna (seniors) can stay on SNAP, despite any future cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) to Social Security.
