Transition Puerto Rico from PAN to SNAP

Hernández is advancing legislation to transition Puerto Rico from the Nutrition Assistance Program (PAN) to the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The bill would bring SNAP to Puerto Rico; it remains a proposal rather than an enacted change.

Context: The source reports that the bill has 60 House co-sponsors and a Senate co-sponsor; it does not describe the transition’s implementation details.
