SNAP benefits don't pay for rotisserie chicken. A bipartisan bill might change that

A bipartisan group of senators is proposing legislation that would allow recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to use their benefits to purchase rotisserie chicken from grocery stores. Currently, these prepared foods are often ineligible for SNAP purchases, a restriction that the proposed bill aims to lift. The initiative seeks to expand the range of food options available to low-income individuals and families participating in the federal food assistance program.

This potential change could offer greater convenience and a wider variety of prepared meal options for SNAP beneficiaries.
