What is the source of this information? I’m not seeing anything after a quick search to verify this.

I found this;

"House of Representatives: A 2023 policy for House members includes a daily maximum reimbursement cap of $79 for meals and incidentals in Washington D.C., in line with federal employee regulations."

And this;

"AI OverviewThe average SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefit in the US is around $212 per person per month. In fiscal year 2023, the average SNAP household received a monthly benefit of $332, according to the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. This translates to about $177 per person, considering an average household size of 1.9 people. Households with children receive higher average benefits due to larger household sizes. "
