The bill proposes an amendment to the law governing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Arkansas, specifically targeting the recertification process for able-bodied adults receiving benefits. It introduces a new section, 20-76-119, which mandates that these recipients must recertify their eligibility with the Department of Human Services every six months.
This change aims to ensure that able-bodied adults are regularly assessed for their continued eligibility for SNAP benefits, potentially streamlining the program and ensuring that assistance is provided to those who meet the necessary criteria. The bill does not indicate any deletions from current law, focusing solely on the new recertification requirement.
