States shall conduct, and submit to the Congress the re-
sults of, a study to examine how States with reported high 
and low rates of food insecurity have targeted veterans 
in the State annual outreach plans to carry out the supple-
mental nutrition assistance program under the Food and 
Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.) (commonly 
know as SNAP) and have coordinated with facilities of 
the Veterans Health Administration to help connect vet-

of any challenges States face in addressing food insecurity 
among veterans, how States have coordinated efforts with 
VSOs and other NGOs that help connect veterans with 
nutrition assistance programs, and any best practices for 
increasing enrollment in such program of eligible non-par-
ticipating households that include veterans.
