Arlington, VA - FMI - The Food Industry Association welcomed the introduction of the SNAP Online Access Act that would make the SNAP Online pilot program permanent. FMI Chief Public Policy Officer Jennifer Hatcher issued the following statement.
“Since its launch in 2019, the SNAP Online Purchasing Pilot has grown from just eight retailers in eight states, including several FMI members, to hundreds of retailers nationwide. Making SNAP Online permanent will give retailers the certainty they need to invest and innovate, while ensuring SNAP participants – especially those in working households and communities where grocery access may be limited – can access food in ways that fit their lives. FMI is grateful to Reps. Messmer and Gray for leading this important effort to establish SNAP Online as a permanent option for millions of American households to meet their grocery needs."
