Evidence

"For the past year, we have promoted Puerto Rico’s inclusion in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)." The letter says NAP mismanagement could "reinforce their concerns" and says the office wants to "transition from NAP to SNAP."

Recent official letter confirms Hernández is still actively advocating for Puerto Rico’s transition to SNAP, but the island remains on NAP and the effort is still framed as a goal, not a completed policy change.

GovInfo’s Congressional Record Index lists "PUERTO RICO NUTRITION ASSISTANCE FAIRNESS ACT" and ties it to Senate bill S. 3958 in the 119th Congress, 2nd Session.

The Puerto Rico SNAP transition bill was still being indexed in the Congressional Record in May 2026, showing continued congressional attention but no indication of enactment or completed transition.

The bill title says it would "transition the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to the supplemental nutrition assistance program," and the latest action listed is referral to the House Committee on Agriculture.

Hernández introduced the core SNAP-transition bill, but the latest official action remains committee referral, so the policy change was not delivered as of the latest available action.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Hernández has materially advanced the promise during his current federal term by introducing H.R. 5168, the Puerto Rico Nutrition Assistance Fairness Act, and continuing official advocacy for transitioning Puerto Rico from NAP/PAN to SNAP. However, the bill remains at committee referral/indexing stages and the transition has not been enacted or implemented, so the promised policy outcome is not fully delivered.
