Jenniffer González-Colón: “We need, as Congress, to make many changes in a lot of Federal laws to provide for those services to the island.”

SNAP would ensure residents in Puerto Rico, like those living in the 50 states, D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam, are properly supported.

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

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

We are grateful to Chairman Westerman for stewardship of COFA renewal so far.
