What the document says
“Any service fee associated with internet connection shall not be used in computing the excess shelter expense deduction under this paragraph.”
The section adds a new subparagraph (E) at the end of section 5(e)(6) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2014(e)(6)) providing that any service fee associated with an internet connection shall not be used in computing the excess shelter expense deduction under that paragraph.
What the document actually says
“Any service fee associated with internet connection shall not be used in computing the excess shelter expense deduction under this paragraph.”
That sentence, in plain words
A fee for an internet link may not be counted. It is left out of the shelter cost sum.
What this is about
The shelter deduction lowers what a home is counted as earning. A lower count can mean more food aid. Internet fees no longer go into it.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
