The main purpose of this legislation, known as the "COLAs Don't Count Act of 2026," is to modify how certain income adjustments are treated under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps low-income individuals and families afford food. Specifically, it aims to improve the way cost of living adjustments are excluded from income calculations for those receiving SNAP benefits. Key provisions of the legislation include changes to the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008.
