To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to establish online and delivery standards, and for other purposes.

H.R. 8046 would amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to create new standards for online and delivery services related to federal food assistance programs. The bill, introduced by Representative Shomari Figures (D-AL) on March 24, 2026, is currently under committee consideration and has not yet been voted on by the full House.

If enacted, this legislation would likely establish rules and requirements for how food assistance benefits can be accessed and delivered through online platforms and delivery services. This could potentially expand access to food assistance for eligible citizens by modernizing how benefits are distributed and used, though the specific standards and requirements would depend on the bill's detailed provisions.

As a standard piece of legislation, the bill would require presidential signature to become law. It remains in the early stages of the legislative process and may be subject to amendments or further discussion in committee before any full chamber vote occurs.
