SNAP Online Access Act of 2026

This bill would change federal law to make online grocery buying with SNAP (food stamp) benefits a permanent, nationwide part of the program instead of a pilot. The Secretary of Agriculture would have to start the move to permanent status within 120 days and issue rules within 2 years, covering program integrity, consumer protections, and equal access. The Secretary would also have to set up a formal process to consult with states, retailers, benefit card processors, consumer advocates, and others about lessons from online purchasing from 2014 through 2025. A report on that consultation would be due to the House and Senate agriculture committees within 120 days.
