Summary
Food Stamp Act Amendments - Eliminates from the Food Stamp Act of 1964 all provisions requiring charges to eligibile households for their food stamp allotments. Substitutes for the present charges a face value of the coupon allotment equal to the cost of a nutritionally adequate diet reduced by an amount equal to 30 percent of a household's income. Establishes a $10 minimum monthly allotment for single-person and two-person households, and declares ineligible for food stamps any household of more than two persons whose allotment would amount to less than $5.
