This bill aims to enhance the integrity and oversight of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Oklahoma by directing the Department of Human Services (DHS) to implement various measures for verifying eligibility. Key provisions include entering into data-matching agreements with state agencies such as the Oklahoma Lottery Commission and the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission to monitor changes in household circumstances that may affect eligibility. The bill mandates that households receiving assistance report changes within ten days and prohibits the granting of categorical eligibility for noncash or in-kind benefits unless required by federal law. Additionally, it restricts the application of gross income standards for SNAP to those specified in federal law.

Furthermore, the bill requires the DHS to conduct on-site inspections of authorized retailers accepting EBT card transactions to identify potential fraud or trafficking. It also mandates the DHS to publicly disclose quarterly data on noncompliance and fraud investigations, including the number of households investigated, improper payments, and funds recovered. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2025.
