The bill amends the law regarding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by directing the Department of Human Services to request a broad-based categorical eligibility waiver from the United States Department of Agriculture. This waiver would allow SNAP applicants and enrollees to be exempt from the federal resource limit, which is currently set at a specific amount. The bill also establishes a new asset limit of six thousand dollars ($6,000) for the program and mandates that this limit be automatically adjusted for inflation on a biennial basis.

Additionally, the bill removes previous provisions that allowed for temporary increases in the asset limit for households exceeding the federal resource limit. The previous law included a temporary asset limit of five thousand five hundred dollars ($5,500) and allowed households to receive this increase once every five years. The new language eliminates these temporary measures and focuses on the established asset limit and the request for the categorical eligibility waiver.
