Push for Puerto Rico to move from PAN to SNAP.
Occurrences
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."
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 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.
Assessments
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.
