Increasing Nutrition Access for Seniors Act of 2025

This bill changes the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for households with elderly or disabled members. It would allow such households with no earned income to be certified for benefits for up to 36 months at a time. It would let states offer a standard medical expense deduction of $155 per month in fiscal year 2026, adjusted each year for medical cost inflation, for elderly or disabled members who self-attest to medical expenses over $35 a month; states could set a higher amount with supporting evidence. States could also use data matches instead of income verification for households in 36-month certification periods. The changes would take effect 180 days after enactment and would not apply to certification periods that began earlier.
