I will be supporting the continued funding of this program as well as of others in the budget request.

Under the terms of the Freely Associated agreements, compact citizens can migrate and work in the United States but they are not U.S. citizens or nationals.

Puerto Rico is not included in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.
