More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to eligibility for supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill amends the Human Resources Code to ensure individuals initially eligible or recertified for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits remain eligible for 12 months. It allows for adjusting this eligibility period to synchronize with the redetermination of eligibility for children's medical assistance. Exceptions to this rule include individuals expecting a change in circumstances within six months that would affect eligibility, those 60 or older with no earned income living in a household completely composed of others aged 60 or older or with disabilities, and individuals aged 18 to 49 with no dependents and no disabilities. The bill takes effect Sept. 1, 2025, pending any necessary federal waivers or authorizations.
