DelawareDIRECTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES TO EXPLORE PARTICIPATING IN THE FEDERAL RESTAURANT MEALS PROGRAM.
What it does
This House Joint Resolution directs the Department of Health and Social Services (“DHSS”) to explore participating in the federal Restaurant Meals Program (RMP). The RMP is an option that states may incorporate into their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to ensure that SNAP recipients who are senior citizens, disabled, or unhoused, or other eligible family members of those participants, may use their SNAP benefits to buy hot foods or hot prepared meals. These populations may otherwise experience barriers that prevent them having the opportunity to access a nutritious and sustaining meal.
More detail
This Joint Resolution also requires DHSS to provide a report to the General Assembly as to its findings.
