Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Not yet voted on. This bill is still a proposal: it hasn't reached a floor vote, and its text can change in committee or on the floor before any vote.

Setting the Table for Transition Act
This bill expands eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for households that contain recently separated veterans.
Under current law, SNAP eligibility and benefits are calculated on a household basis (not individual), and the household must meet gross income, net income, and asset limits (with exceptions). A household may also qualify through categorical eligibility by participating in other means-tested programs.
Under the bill, for a household that includes a member who is a recently separated veteran, only the veteran's personal income is considered when determining SNAP eligibility. Specifically, this applies during the 100-day period that begins upon the date a veteran receives documentation of separation from the military.
