NDRN Calls on USDA to Expand the SNAP Online Purchasing Pilot Program

The National Disability Rights Network sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) urging USDA to expand the SNAP Online Purchasing Pilot program to all states and territories and extend eligibility for the program to more retailers. This expansion will help ensure beneficiaries with disabilities are not unnecessarily put at risk of contracting COVID-19 simply because administrative rules prohibit online delivery of groceries purchased with SNAP benefits.
