Key Points

This bill, introduced by Rep. Crockett, would expand a federal program that gives families extra money to buy healthy food. It would allow people to use these nutrition incentives to buy frozen fruits and vegetables, rather than being limited mostly to fresh produce.
By including frozen items, the policy aims to help families get healthy food year-round. Frozen produce is often cheaper and lasts longer than fresh produce, making it easier for families on a tight budget to eat well without worrying about food spoiling quickly.
The bill also adds legumes, such as beans and lentils, to the list of approved foods. This gives families more ways to buy healthy, high-protein foods using their program benefits at the grocery store.
