This 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, which will 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 permitted the Department of Human Services to grant temporary increases for up to one year and set specific amounts for these increases. The new language eliminates these temporary provisions, streamlining the asset limit process under the SNAP program.
