This bill aims to enhance access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by directing the Department of Human Services to implement broad-based categorical eligibility (BBCE) for certain households. Specifically, it allows households that qualify for non-cash Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits or state maintenance of effort (MOE) benefits to receive SNAP benefits, provided they meet all other BBCE criteria. The bill establishes an income limit of 170% of the federal poverty level (FPL) and removes any asset limit for eligibility under this provision.

Additionally, the Department of Human Services is required to seek federal approval and comply with any necessary federal requirements to implement these changes. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause to ensure its immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
