On the recordJune 19, 2013
I thank the gentleman for yielding. I would just like to say, on behalf of the chairman of the Agriculture Committee, I thank the gentleman from Ohio for bringing this good government amendment before us today. Current law states that a State agency must return unused benefits to the Treasury after a 12- month period of inactivity. The gentleman's amendment simply shortens that time period that a SNAP recipient has to claim their benefits to 60 days. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this commonsense amendment.
