This bill amends the Human Services Code, specifically Section 403, to enhance the administration of public assistance programs in Pennsylvania. A new subsection (h) is added, which mandates that the Department of Human Services conduct quarterly checks of income and employment records maintained by the Department of Labor and Industry. This measure aims to ensure that recipients of medical assistance and benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are accurately assessed based on their current financial status.

The bill emphasizes the importance of uniformity in the administration of assistance and the regulations governing it, thereby promoting accountability and efficiency in the distribution of public welfare resources. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
