The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 142F.101, to modify the income and asset requirements for households participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It introduces new language specifying that the county or Tribal agency must determine each SNAP household's eligibility based on net income that meets federal SNAP requirements, rather than the previous phrasing that implied a more generalized assessment.

Additionally, the bill establishes new asset limits for SNAP households, requiring them to demonstrate compliance with personal property limitations as outlined in section 256P.02. Notably, it specifies that vehicles with a trade-in value of $100,000 or more will not be excluded from the asset calculations, thereby impacting how personal property is assessed for eligibility. These changes aim to refine the criteria for SNAP participation, ensuring that households are evaluated more accurately based on their financial circumstances.
