Seguridad alimentaria para Puerto Rico ahora
Desde 1982, Puerto Rico recibe asistencia nutricional mediante una asignaci贸n en bloque con tope, con beneficios m谩s bajos y requisitos m谩s estrictos que el SNAP. Planteamos que el Congreso debe aprovechar la Ley Agr铆cola (Farm Bill) para hacer ya la transici贸n de Puerto Rico al SNAP.
Food Security for Puerto Rico Now
Since 1982, Puerto Rico has received nutrition assistance through a capped block grant with lower benefits and stricter eligibility than SNAP. We argue Congress should use this Farm Bill to transition Puerto Rico to SNAP now.
