Health and Human Service Programs and Benefits Eligibility and Delivery Data-Sharing Clarifications Amendment Act of 2026

This bill clarifies how the District of Columbia can share client data between different health and human service agencies to help determine eligibility for federal and local benefits. Specifically, it allows the Family Services Administration to share information with the Economic Security Administration to streamline time limit exemptions for SNAP recipients, reducing the administrative burden on these customers. The legislation achieves this by updating existing laws to explicitly permit data sharing under established confidentiality rules and by refining the legal definition of which government entities are authorized to participate in these data exchanges.
