This bill amends the Human Services Code, specifically Section 403, to enhance the uniformity in 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 verification process is aimed at ensuring the accuracy of information for recipients of medical assistance and benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining up-to-date and accurate records for individuals receiving public assistance, thereby potentially reducing fraud and ensuring that benefits are appropriately allocated. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
